  The radiative thermal neutron capture cross sections over the range of
thermal energies from 1 keV to 1 MeV are studied in statistical Hauser-Feshbach
formalism. The optical model potential is constructed by folding the density
dependent M3Y nucleon-nucleon interaction with radial matter densities of
target nuclei obtained from relativistic-mean-field (RMF) theory. The standard
nuclear reaction code TALYS1.8 is used for calculation of cross sections. The
nuclei studied in the present work reside near the $Z=28$ proton shell closure
and are of astrophysical interests taking part in p-, s-, and r-process of
nucleosynthesis. The Maxwellian-averaged cross-section (MACS) values for
energies important for astrophysical applications are presented.
