The excitation phenomena in neutron-rich nuclei have been studied within the self-consistent relativistic quasiparticle random-phase approximation (RQRPA) formulated in the canonical basis of the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model. For the interaction in the particle-hole channel, effective Lagrangians with nonlinear meson self-interactions are used, and pairing correlations are described by the pairing part of the finite range Gogny interaction. Motivated by the recent radioactive nuclear beams experiments, the present model has been employed to study the non-resonant and collective low-lying excitations in neutron rich oxygen isotopes, and in N=82 isotones. In particular, the properties of the low-lying isovector dipole mode are investigated, identifying a neutron skin oscillation mode known as the Pygmy resonance. In addition, the present model has been extended to the proton-neutron RQRPA in order to investigate the collective charge-exchange excitations, i.e. the isobaric analog and Gamow-Teller resonances.
