Properties of 12Be and 11Be in terms of single-particle motion in deformed potential

Inspired by the recent measurement of the B(E2;$0_{2}^{+} \to 2_{1}^+$) and B(E0;$0_{2}^{+} \to 0_{1}^+$) values in $^{12}$Be, we give an interpretation of available spectroscopic data on both $^{12}$Be and $^{11}$Be, using a simple model which contains the essential feature of these two nuclei; the presence of weakly-bound neutron(s) in deformed potentials. The agreement of the calculated results with observed data is surprisingly good, including well-known strong E1 transitions in both nuclei.
