A systematic investigation of collective properties in the nuclei of an [Formula: see text]-decay chain from [Formula: see text]Po to [Formula: see text]Cn has been performed in the total-Routhian-surface calculations. The empirical indicator [Formula: see text]-factor, energy ratio [Formula: see text], and the energies of the first excited state [Formula: see text] exhibit a hint about nuclear deformation or shape transition in these nuclei. The calculated results of ground state equilibrium deformations are compared with the previous study and available experimental data, showing a general agreement. In addition, the upbending behaviors in moments of inertia have been reproduced by the present work. It is found that the similar alignment of a neutron [Formula: see text] pair is mainly responsible for the upbending in the heavier nuclei. The gentle increasing angular momentums reveal the delayed alignment to certain high spins. Furthermore, taking the near proton drip-line nucleus [Formula: see text]Cn as an example, we briefly discussed the influence of the modification of Woods–Saxon potential parameters (e.g., the strength of the spin-orbit potential [Formula: see text] and the nuclear surface diffuseness [Formula: see text]) on the moment of inertia. This may imply the role of the slight parameter modifications is negligible due to almost unchanged deformation and pairing interactions at ground state.
