In this work, we provide a microscopic description of the fusion reactions between 40,48Ca and 78Ni. The internuclear potentials are obtained using the density-constrained (DC) time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) approach and fusion cross sections are calculated via the incoming wave boundary condition method. By performing DC-TDHF calculations at several selected incident energies, the internuclear potentials for both systems are obtained and the energy-dependence of fusion barrier are revealed. The influence of tensor force on internuclear potentials of 48Ca+78Ni is more obvious than those of 40Ca+78Ni. By comparing the calculated fusion cross sections between 40Ca+78Ni and 48Ca+78Ni, an interesting enhancement of subbarrier fusion cross sections for the former system is found, which can be explained by the narrow width of internuclear potential for 40Ca+78Ni while the barrier heights and positions are very close to each other. The tensor force suppresses the subbarrier fusion cross sections of both two systems.
