Potential function :
The square well potential The harmonic oscillator potential The combined of them

Applications :
Nuclear spins and parities (for the ground state) In a completely filled level, the orbital angular momenta and spins of the nucleons add in such a way as to give a zero resultant total angular momentum In the level that are not completelly filled, the nucleons form PAIRS (proton-proton, neutron-neutron, but NO proton-neutron
Rules of coupling :
The groundstate of EVEN-EVEN nuclei have ZERO angular momentum and EVEN parity (regardless of the number of protons and neutrons) In a nucleus with an EVEN-N and ODD-Z, the groundstate properties are determined by the PROTON (the last odd proton) If EVEN-Z and ODD-N, determined by the LAST neutron
