In the framework of the generalized liquid drop model (GLDM) and improved Royer's formula, we investigate the branching ratios and half-lives of α-decay to the members of the ground-state rotational bands of heavy even–even Fm and No isotopes. The calculated results are in good agreement with the available experimental data and some useful predictions are provided for future experiments.

AbstractWe revisit the liquid drop model with a general Riesz potential. Our new result is the existence of minimizers for the conjectured optimal range of parameters. We also prove a conditional uniqueness of minimizers and a nonexistence result for heavy nuclei.

In this paper, we have made an attempt to analyze the alpha-decay half-lives of in the atomic number range [Formula: see text] by considering an effective liquid drop model. The role of pre-formation probability by including iso-spin effect is included during an evaluation of half-lives. We have also compared the studied alpha-decay half-lives with that of semi-empirical formulae such as Viola Seaborg semi-empirical formulae (VSS) [J. Inorg. Nucl. Chem. 28 (1966) 741; Nucl. Phys. A 848 (2010) 279], Royer formulae [J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 26 (2000) 1149; Phys. Rev. C 101 (2020) 034307] and also with that of the available experiments. From this comparison, it can be concluded that the effective liquid drop model produces an alpha-decay half-lives close to the experiments.

A phenomenological formula based on liquid drop model has been proposed for ground-state binding energies of nuclei. The effect due to bunching of single particle levels has been incorporated through a term resembling the one-body Hamiltonian. The effect of n–p interaction has been included through a function of valence nucleons. A total of 50 parameters has been used in the present calculation. The root mean square (r.m.s.) deviation for the binding energy values for 2140 nuclei comes out to be 0.376 MeV, and that for 1091 alpha decay energies is 0.284 MeV. The correspondence with the conventional liquid drop model is discussed.

The alpha decay half-lives of actinides within modified generalized liquid drop model (MGLDM) are investigated by the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) barrier penetration probability. The potential barrier was studied taking in to account of nuclear proximity, coulomb interaction and centrifugal potential with the inclusion of angular momentum. This work predicts the alpha decay half-lives of unknown actinide nuclei such as [Formula: see text]Am, [Formula: see text]Cm, [Formula: see text]Bk, [Formula: see text]Es and [Formula: see text]No. The calculated alpha decay half-lives reproduce accurately the experimental data. The predictions provided for the alpha decay half-lives within the MGLDM may be helpful for identifying the new isotopes in this field.

AbstractThe potential energy surface has been calculated by two methods which are compared with re­spect to spontaneous fission. In the first one essentially the sum of the single particle energies is computed as was done in a previous paper3 while in the second one the Strutinsky technique of renormalizing to a liquid drop model has been applied. Also the half-lives for electron capture are investigated together with the predictions of the half-lives for spontaneous fission and α-decay. The results support the existence of superheavy nuclei in the regions around Z = 114 and Z = 164.
