摘要：
α decay is a common and important process of natural radioactivity of the heavy and superheavy nuclei. From the α decay of nuclei, we can obtain much more information of nuclei structure. In our previous works [X.-D. Sun et al., Phys. Rev. C 93, 034316 (2016); X.-D. Sun et al., Phys. Rev. C 95, 014319 (2017)], we have done systematic study on the α preformation probability of both the even-even and odd- A nuclei within the two-potential approach. The α preformation probabilities will systematically change due to the shell effect, proton-neutron correlation, and so on. This work is the extension of the previous works. In this work, we systematically study the α decay of doubly odd nuclei. We find that for superallowed α decay the α preformation probabilities of doubly odd nuclei are larger than those of odd- A ones in general, and for the heavier nuclei the extra neutrons suppress the proton-neutron correlation resulting in the small α preformation probabilities. The calculated results can well reproduce the experimental half-lives. The half-lives of the α decay chain beginning from nuclide 119296 are also predicted and compared with various empirical formulas.

摘要：
α decay is usually associated with both ground and low-lying isomeric states of heavy and superheavy nuclei, and the unpaired nucleon plays a key role in α decay. In this work, we systematically studied the α decay half-lives of odd- A nuclei, including both favored and unfavored α decay within the two-potential approach based on the isospin dependent nuclear potential. The α preformation probabilities are estimated by using an analytic formula taking into account the shell structure and proton-neutron correlation, and the parameters are obtained through the α decay half-lives data. The results indicate that, in general, the α preformation probabilities of even- Z, odd- N nuclei are slightly smaller than the odd- Z, even- N ones. We found that the odd-even staggering effect may play a more important role on spontaneous fission than α decay. The calculated half-lives can well reproduce the experimental data.
摘要：
In this paper, based on the two-potential approach combining with the isospin dependent nuclear potential, we systematically compare the α preformation probabilities of odd-A nuclei between nuclear isomeric states and ground states. The results indicate that during the process of α particle preforming, the low lying nuclear isomeric states are similar to ground states. Meanwhile, in the framework of single nucleon energy level structure, we find that for nuclei with nucleon number below the magic numbers, the α preformation probabilities of high-spin states seem to be larger than low ones. For nuclei with nucleon number above the magic numbers, the α preformation probabilities of isomeric states are larger than those of ground states.

摘要：
α decay is a common and important process of natural radioactivity of heavy and superheavy nuclei. The α decay half-lives for even-even nuclei from Z=62 to Z=118 are systematically studied based on the two-potential approach with a quasistationary state approximation. As for the nuclear potential, the isospin effect is considered, which slightly improves the results by 6.8%. To reduce the deviations between experimental half-lives and calculated results due to the nuclear shell structure, the analytic expression of hindrance factors is employed. Our results can reproduce the experimental half-lives as good as using the density-dependent cluster model and the generalized liquid drop model.

摘要：
In this work, we systematically investigate the favored α-decay half-lives and α preformation probabilities of both odd- A and doubly-odd nuclei related to ground and isomeric states around the doubly magic cores at Z=82, N=82 and at Z=82, N=126, respectively, within a two-potential approach from the view of the valence nucleon (or hole). The results show that the α preformation probability is linearly related to NpNn or NpNnI, where Np, Nn, and I are the number of valence protons (or holes), the number of valence neutrons (or holes), and the isospin of the parent nucleus, respectively. Fitting the α preformation probabilities data extracted from the differences between experimental data and calculated half-lives without a shell correction, we give two analytic formulas of the α preformation probabilities and the values of corresponding parameters. Using those formulas and the parameters, we calculate the α-decay half-lives for those nuclei. The calculated results can well reproduce the experimental data.
