Binding energies of nuclei are calculated in the mass region 1300 ≤ A < 1400. The calculations are performed using the adjusted Rost interaction, which suggests that a new island of stability exists for Z = 382 and in neighboring systems. Enhanced stability occurs in the <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mn mathvariant="bold"> 382</mml:mn> <mml:mn mathvariant="bold">1344</mml:mn> </mml:msubsup> <mml:msub> <mml:mi mathvariant="bold">X</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn mathvariant="bold">962</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> system.

We have investigated the ground-state properties of odd-Z superheavy isotopes with even neutron numbers in previous article (Phys. Rev. C67 064302 (2003)). In this work we extend the previous researches to the ground-state properties of odd-Z isotopic chains with odd neutron numbers. This covers the isotopic chains with Z = 109 - 115 which are current interests of experiments. The ground state properties of these odd-Z superheavy nuclei have been systematically calculated by deformed relativistic mean-field model (RMF) with two sets of force parameters TMA and NL-Z2. The theoretical results from the RMF model are compared with those from the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model (SHF). The binding energies of two models are in good agreement with each other, but the quadrupole deformations show model dependence in some mass regions. The alpha decay energies from the two theoretical models are also compared with recent experimental data, which include three alpha decay chains of superheavy elements 115 and 113. The reasonable agreement shows the validity of the self-consistent mean-field models for superheavy mass region.

Superheavy elements have provided a good test of the validity of both nuclear structure models and nuclear decay models in a large mass region. We firstly review the recent progress on theoretical studies of superheavy nuclei. Emphasis is placed on the structure and decay of superheavy nuclei. Then theoretical results of odd-odd nuclei with Z = 109 - 115 are presented and discussed. It is clearly demonstrated that there is shape coexistence for the ground state of many superheavy nuclei from different models and many superheavy nuclei are deformed. In some cases superdeformation can become the ground state of superheavy nuclei and it is important for future studies of superheavy nuclei. This can lead to the existence of low-energy isomers in the superheavy region and it plays an important role for the stability of superheavy nuclei. As α-decay and spontaneous fission plays a crucial role for identifications of new elements, we also review some typical models of α-decay half-lives and spontaneous fissions half-lives. Some new views on superheavy nuclei are presented.

The high-K isomeric states in light superheavy nuclei around A = 250 mass region are investigated by the Cranked Shell Model (CSM) with pairing treated by a Particle-Number Conserving (PNC) method. With including the higher-order deformation ε6, both of the high–K multi-particle state energies and the rotational bands in 254No and N = 150 isotone are reproduced well. The isomeric state energies and the microscopic mechanism of kinematic moment of inertia variations versus rotational frequency are discussed. The irregularity of the two-neutron Kπ = 8- state band at ħω ≈ 0:17 in 252No is caused by the configuration mixing with the two-proton Kπ = 8- band. .

The NL-RA1 effective interaction of the relativistic mean field theory is employed to study the structure of deformed and superheavy nuclei, using an axially deformed harmonic oscillator basis. It is found that a fair agreement with the experimental data is obtained for the binding energies (BE), deformation parameters and charge radii. Comparison with NL-Z2, NLSH and NL3 interactions show that NL-Z2 gives good binding but larger radii, while NL-SH gives good radii but larger binding. The NL-RA1 interaction is also tested for the new deformed superheavy element with Z≥98. Excellent agreement with the experimental binding is obtained, where the relative error in BEs of Cf, Fm, No, Rf, Sg and Ea (Z = 110) isotopes are found to be of the order ~0.1%. The NL3 predicted larger binding and larger relative errors ~0.2–0.5%. Furthermore, the experimental Q-values of the alpha-decay of the superheavy elements 270110, 288114 and 292116 are satisfactory reproduced by NL-RA1 interaction, where the agreement is much better than that predicted by the phenomenological mass FRDM model. Furthermore, the alpha-decay chain of element 294118 are also better reproduced by NL-RA1 interaction.

The ground state properties namely the binding energy, the root mean square (rms) radius (neutron, proton and charge) and the deformation parameter of 45 newly identified neutron-rich isotopes in the A~71–152 mass region have been predicted in the relativistic mean filed (RMF) framework along with the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) type of pairing. Validity of the RMF results with the NL3 effective force are tested for odd-A Zn and Rh isotopic chains without taking the time reversal symmetry breaking effects into consideration. The RMF prediction on the binding energies are in good agreement with the empirical/finite-range droplet model calculation. The shell effects on the rms radii of odd-A Zn and Rh isotopes are nicely reproduced. The possibility of shape-coexistence in the newly identified nuclei is discussed.

Binding energies and their differences are investigated to evaluate the two-neutron separation energies (S2n), the two-proton separation energies (S2p) and the average proton–neutron interaction strengths (δVpn) of neutron-rich Sr , Zr and Mo isotopes in the mass region A = 86–110, including even–even nuclei. Calculations were performed using the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) method with different Skyrme force parametrizations. The obtained results are discussed and compared with the results of experimental and relativistic mean-field theory (RMFT).

A model of nuclear matter built from alpha-particles is proposed. In this model, nuclei possess the molecular-like structure. Analyzing the numbers of bonds, one gets the formula for the binding energy of a nucleus. The structure is determined by the minimum of the total potential energy, where interaction between alpha-particles is pairwise and the pair-potential is of Lennard–Jones type. The calculated binding energies show a good agreement with experiment. Calculations predict the stability island for superheavy nuclei around Z=120.

The accurate calculations of the cluster formation model (CFM) have been extended to determine the alpha cluster preformation probability for the three even–even superheavy isotopes (Hs, Ds and Cn) with atomic number [Formula: see text] and 112 and neutron numbers [Formula: see text] in the mass region from 252 to 300. According to the hypothesized CFM, the calculations of the formation energy and surface energy, which depended on differences of binding energies are crucial for determining the realistic values of the preformation probability. Our results showed reasonable agreement with the results of previous work for the heavy nuclei. In addition, realistic values of the preformation probability certified that CFM can successfully be used to calculate the alpha cluster preformation probability for other wide range of superheavy nuclei.
