In high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions,highly charged heavy ions moving close to the speed of light generate ex-tremely strong electromagnetic fields,inducing photoproduction processes involving photon-photon and photon-nuclear interactions.These photoproduction processes yield various states,including dilepton pairs and vector mesons.In recent years,several experimental results from ultraperipheral and peripheral heavy-ion collisions have provided excellent con-ditions and unique opportunities for studying nuclear structures and nucleon distributions through mutual promotion and cross-checking between precise experimental measurements and sophisticated theoretical calculations.This paper briefly introduces recent research achievements on nuclear charge distributions,gluon distributions,neutron skins,etc.based on the data collected from ultraperipheral and peripheral heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider.
