Abstract

We discuss the applicability of the energy density formalism (EDF) for heavy-ion fusion reactions at sub-barrier energies. For this purpose, we calculate the fusion excitation function and the fusion barrier distribution for the reactions of ¹⁶O with ^154,144Sm,¹⁸⁶W and ²⁰⁸Pb with the coupled-channels method. We also discuss the effect of saturation property on the fusion cross section for the reaction between two ⁶⁴Ni nuclei, in connection to the so called steep fall-off phenomenon of fusion cross sections at deep sub-barrier energies.
