We employ a microscopic approach that examines the impact of isospin dynamicson the process of low energy nuclear fusion along an isotope chain anddependence on deformation. Our method utilizes the density constrainedtime-dependent Hartree-Fock theory (DC-TDHF), where isoscalar and isovectorcharacteristics of the energy density functional (EDF) are examined in turn.This approach is applied to a series of fusion interactions of $^{176}$Yb withincreasingly neutron rich isotopes of Calcium. By evaluating the contributionsfrom the isoscalar and isovector components of the EDF, we look to quantify theinfluence of isospin composition on the conditions under which fusion is mostlikely to take place. Our findings reveal that, in non-symmetric systems, theisovector dynamics play a significant role. It's typical effect is a reductionin the potential barrier, which turns into enhancement for neutron-richsystems.
