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.

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.

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.

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.

Theoretical Approaches

The one-proton emission, alpha decay and cluster decay using a Cubic Plus Proximity model with improved transfer-matrix method are executed for the first time for the study of decay properties of 368 isotopes of nuclei, far from the beta stability line and beyond the islands of stability [Formula: see text] superheavy nuclei are studied within the range [Formula: see text]. The calculated decay half-lives are in good agreement with other theoretical approaches. The signature of neutron shell closure at [Formula: see text] and proton shell closure at [Formula: see text] obtained from half-life curves for emission of different clusters pronounces the previous predictions. Investigation of competition between various decay modes brings out the dominant decay mode associated with an isotope; for a given [Formula: see text] with increasing [Formula: see text] the dominant decay mode is seen to shift from proton decay to alpha decay and finally spontaneous fission. The decay modes and half-lives which are within the limit of experimental detection [Formula: see text] are presented.

Decay Modes

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.

Alpha-decay half-lives of the even–even superheavy isotopes with proton numbers [Formula: see text] have been calculated within the cluster model. The alpha-daughter potential was constructed by employing the density-dependent double-folding model with a realistic nucleon–nucleon interaction whose exchange part has a finite range approximation. The half-lives were calculated using Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximation with the alpha preformation factor. The results have shown that the computed alpha-decay half-lives were in good agreement with their counterpart calculated by different semi-empirical approaches. The obtained results have also shown a negative linear relationship between the logarithm of the preformation factor and the fragmentation potential for the understudy isotopes. Also, the calculated results have shown that isotopes [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] had longer half-lives than their adjacent isotopes, which indicates that the corresponding neutron or proton numbers have a magical or semi-magical properties. Furthermore, we have studied the competition between alpha-decay and spontaneous fission to predict possible decay modes from the even–even isotopes [Formula: see text]. The results revealed that the isotopes [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] had alpha-decay as a predominant mode of decay and the nuclei [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] could not survive from the spontaneous fission. We hope that the theoretical prediction could be helpful for future investigation in this field.
