In this work, we have made an attempt to study the cluster-decay half-lives and alpha-decay half-lives of the superheavy nuclei [Formula: see text]Og by considering the temperature-dependent (TD) and also temperature-independent (TID) proximity potential model. The evaluated half-lives were compared with that of the experiments. To predict the decay modes, we have compared the cluster-decay half-lives and alpha-decay half-lives with that of spontaneous fission half-lives. This work also predicts the decay chains of the superheavy nuclei [Formula: see text]Og and finds an importance in the synthesis of further isotopes of superheavy element Oganesson.

Cluster radioactivity is a rare cold nuclear process which is intermediate between alpha decay and spontaneous fission. The present work is a theoretical investigation of the feasibility of alpha decay and cluster radioactivity from proton rich Osmium (Os) isotopes with mass number ranging from 162–190. Osmium forms a part of the transition region between highly deformed and spherical nuclei. Calculations have been done using unified fission model and Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) theory. We have chosen only those decays with half-lives falling in measurable range. Geiger–Nuttall plot has been successfully reproduced. The isotope which is most favorable to each decay mode has a magic daughter nucleus.

Exotic Decay

Cluster radioactivity is an intermediate between alpha decay and spontaneous fission. It is also an exotic decay obtained in superheavy nuclei. When a cluster decay is detected in superheavy nuclei, the daughter nuclei is having near or equal to doubly magic nuclei. We have investigated cluster decay of isotopes of He, Li, Be, Ne, N, Mg, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar and Ca in the superhaevy nuclei region 299-306122. We have also compared the logarithmic half-lives of cluster decay with that of other models such as Univ [1], NRDX [2], UDL [3] and Horoi [4]. From this study it is concluded that  cluster decay of 4He, 22Ne, 26Mg, 28Si 30Si, 34S, 40Ca and 46Ca are having shorter logarithmic half-lives compared to exotic cluster decay modes.

It is important to study the different decay modes of superheavy nuclei such as spontaneous fission, ternary fission and cluster decay. We studied the spontaneous fission, ternary fission and cluster decay of predicted isotopes of superheavy nuclei [Formula: see text] and compared with that of alpha decay. This enables us to study the competition between spontaneous fission, ternary fission, cluster decay and alpha decay in the superheavy nuclei [Formula: see text]. We have studied the half-lives and decay constants of different decay modes. We have also studied the branching ratio of alpha decay with respect to other decay modes. This study reveals that alpha decay is the most dominant decay mode for the superheavy nuclei [Formula: see text] and hence these nuclei can be detected through the alpha decay mode only.

An estimation of the relative probability of electron expulsion from inner shells of atoms following heavy cluster decay or nuclear spontaneous fission is performed. The calculation takes into account the recoil of the daughter nucleus, both in the case of dipole and quadrupole terms. The results show an enhancement of the electron emission probability in comparison with the case of α-decay.

A systematic study on the alpha decay half-lives of various isotopes of superheavy element (SHE) [Formula: see text] within the range [Formula: see text] is presented for the first time using Coulomb and proximity potential model for deformed nuclei (CPPMDN). The calculated [Formula: see text] decay half-lives of the isotopes within our formalism match well with the values computed using Viola–Seaborg systematic, Universal curve of Poenaru et al., and the analytical formula of Royer. In our study by comparing the [Formula: see text] decay half-lives with the spontaneous fission half-lives, we have predicted [Formula: see text] chain from [Formula: see text]121, [Formula: see text] chain from [Formula: see text]121 and [Formula: see text] chain from [Formula: see text]121. Clearly our study shows that the isotopes of SHE [Formula: see text] within the mass range [Formula: see text] will survive fission and can be synthesized and detected in the laboratory via alpha decay. We hope that our predictions will provide a new guide to future experiments.

Alpha decay (AD) and spontaneous fission (SF) half-lives of superheavy nuclei [Formula: see text] have been studied within the density-dependent cluster model. The alpha-nucleus potentials were calculated using the double-folding model with the realistic M3Y nucleon–nucleon interaction. To calculate nuclear half-lives, several semi-empirical formulas were used in addition to the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximation. The calculated AD half-lives agree well with the values computed by the analytical formulas of Royer, the semi-empirical formula of Poenaru et al. and the Viola–Seaborg systematic. To identify the mode of decay of these nuclei, the SF half-lives were calculated using the semi-empirical formula given by Xu et al. The results show that among the isotopes studied, isotopes [Formula: see text] can be survived from the SF and have a half-life greater than [Formula: see text][Formula: see text](s). The study predicts [Formula: see text] chains from isotopes [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] chains from isotopes [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] chains from isotopes [Formula: see text] and an AD from [Formula: see text]. These isotopes have a half-life long enough to be synthesized in the laboratory. Also, in the decay chains of these isotopes, it is observed that the nuclei [Formula: see text] have higher half-lives than their neighbors. The neutron numbers corresponding to these isotopes are [Formula: see text] indicating the magical or semi-magical behavior of these numbers, which is in good agreement with the research results.

The alpha decay (AD) chains of the nuclei having [Formula: see text], 119 and 120 have been investigated in terms of different theoretical models. Decay mode results that are presented in this study have been probed over the possible isotopes of the aforementioned nuclei. In the decay mode predictions, the formula of Bao et al. and the formula proposed by Soylu have been used to calculate the spontaneous fission (SF) half-lives. The AD half-lives have been computed by using the Denisov and Khuedenko, Royer, Horoi, the universal decay law (UDL), the Viola–Seaborg–Sobiczewski (VSS), the universal curve (UNIV) formulas and Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximation with Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization condition for the nuclei that have the measured experimental half-lives. Therefore, the rms values of the results of the related expressions and WKB method have been determined, in this way, AD half-life calculations of the [Formula: see text], 119 and 120 nuclei have been performed. According to the obtained results, SF half-life values for Bao et al. and Soylu are quite different from one approach to another, the predictions on decay modes of the [Formula: see text], 119 and 120 nuclei show differences. The decay modes produced by using different models used in this study would be important for the predictions of the future experimental investigations.
