After a brief introduction of the role of shell effects in determining the limiting nuclear
masses, the experimental investigation of the decay properties of the heaviest nuclei is …

Abstract α-particle preformation factors, one of the most significant quantities in α decay, are
systematically investigated, which are extracted from the ratios between theoretical α-decay …

The observation of atomic numbers Z that are 40% larger than that of Bi, the heaviest stable
element, is an impressive extension of nuclear survival. Although the super heavy nuclei …

The α particle preformation in the even-even nuclei from Te 108 to 294 118 and the
penetration probability have been studied. The isotopes from Pb to U have been firstly …

The concept of heavy particle radioactivity is studied using modified generalised liquid drop
model (MGLDM) in the superheavy element Z= 126. The eight different proximity functions …

New recent experimental α decay half-lives have been compared with the results obtained
from previously proposed formulas depending only on the mass and charge numbers of the …

The proton radioactivity half-lives of spherical proton emitters are investigated theoretically.
The potential barriers preventing the emission of protons are determined in the …

The α-decay half-lives of nuclei in the ground states and isomeric states have been
calculated within the WKB approximation and Royer's formulas. The barrier in the …

α decay is a common and important process of natural radioactivity of heavy and
superheavy nuclei. The α decay half-lives for even-even nuclei from Z= 62 to Z= 118 are …

The α-decay half-lives of superheavy nuclei are studied using the generalized liquid-drop
model (GLDM) with 1977 nuclear proximity potential proposed by Blocki et al.[Ann …
