Multipolar Expansion

Alpha-decay half-life of even-even emitters has been calculated in terms of tunnelling through a quantum mechanical potential barrier. A multipolar expansion of Coulomb potential has been developed taking into account the nuclear quadrupole, hexadecapole, and hexacontatetrapole deformations. We show that using a free-parameter model the calculated half-lives do not vary significantly with higher order multipolarities of the daughter nucleus deformation.

Good Agreement

Calculation of alpha particle preformation probabilities for some alpha emitters is considered in the framework of a recent proposed barrier penetration formula, by two different approximations. The behavior of alpha particle preformation probability with the variation of neutron and proton numbers of parent nuclei for isotopes, in the range [Formula: see text], and isotones, in the range [Formula: see text], is investigated. The same correlations are then studied for the alpha decay half-life, the barrier assault frequency, barrier height and barrier penetration probability. Strong correlations are found and in a good agreement with experimental expectations.

A simple, semi-empirical, one-parameter calculation model based on the quantum mechanical tunneling mechanism through a potential barrier has been used to estimate the partial [Formula: see text]-decay half-life, [Formula: see text], of [Formula: see text] isomer. Alpha-transitions to levels of the ground-state band [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] have been considered, and the contributions to [Formula: see text] due to overlapping, Coulomb, and centrifugal barriers have been detailed in each case. Results have indicated a [Formula: see text]-value of [Formula: see text] and a predominance [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]-particles populating the level [Formula: see text], compatible with results by other authors. Besides, a single, universal-like formula to estimate half-life of alpha transitions, whatever [Formula: see text]-value and the characteristics of the parent nucleus (e-e, e-o, o-e and o-o nuclei, whether in the ground or isomeric states), has been envisaged.

In this paper, Coulomb and proximity potential model has been applied to calculate the half-lives of alpha-decay for isotopes around N = Z = 50. Using this model, we investigated the influence of deformation and orientation of daughter nucleus on alpha-decay half-lives. Two orientations (90° and 180°) with quadrupole deformation are applied to study the role of daughter orientation in alpha-decay process. It is found that the deformation and orientation of daughter nucleus affects the alpha-decay half-life and changes the slope and intercept of linear relation between log10(T1/2) and Q-1/2.

Finite Nuclei

In this study, the effect of the surface symmetry energy on the neutron skin thickness and division of it into the bulk and surface parts are investigated by determination of the symmetry energy coefficient [Formula: see text] of finite nuclei. We demonstrate the importance of the isospin asymmetry distribution in the symmetry energy coefficient of finite nuclei at the surface region. We attempt to find out how different surface symmetry energies may affect alpha decay half-life. The Skyrme interactions are used to describe the neutron and proton density distributions and to calculate the symmetry energy coefficient [Formula: see text] of four nuclei and the surface symmetry energy. The chosen Skyrme interactions can produce the binding energy and root-mean-square charge radii of both mother and daughter nuclei. We single out the spherical isotones of [Formula: see text] named [Formula: see text]Pb, [Formula: see text]Po, [Formula: see text]Rn and [Formula: see text]Ra for daughter nuclei and explore the dependence of the bulk and surface contributions on the surface symmetry energy. The half-life of mother nuclei, i.e., [Formula: see text]Po, [Formula: see text]Rn, [Formula: see text]Ra and [Formula: see text]Th, is employed to investigate the extent to which it is affected by different surface symmetry energies. The calculated half-lives show a downward tendency for different surface symmetry energies which can be caused by various neutron skin thicknesses.

The half-life of a parent nucleus of Astatine isotopes [Formula: see text] decaying via alpha emission is investigated by employing Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM) using the WKB barrier penetration probability and other different analytical and semiempirical formulae of Royer, AKRE, Akrawy, RoyerB, MRoyerB, MRenB, SemFIS, VS and SLB. In the calculation of Alpha decay (AD) half-life the available experimental and theoretical [Formula: see text]-values with the total alpha kinetic energy have been considered. The behavior of hindrance factor with the variation of mass numbers of parent nuclei for isotopes in the range [Formula: see text] and the effect of magic number at closed shells were investigated. Through the comparison of obtained results from the systematics with the experimental data, the prediction of SemFIS formula was the best among the studied ones where it shows the minimum standard deviation of 0.829881.

Comparison Of The Results

The paper investigates the alpha-decay half-lives of some nuclei by modifying the Coulomb potential with Yukawa proximity potential for the excited state decays. A new relation is found for the width diffuseness of the nuclear surface [Formula: see text] and the sharp radii [Formula: see text] for the excited system. The parameters are fitted to the experimental data for the nuclear temperature in the range [Formula: see text] (MeV). A comparison of half-life indicates that the probability of decay increases with increasing nuclear temperature for the excited system. The comparison of the results with the existing experimental data is motivating.
