The possibility of cluster radioactivity (CR) of the neutron-deficient nuclei in the trans-tin region is explored by using the effective liquid drop model (ELDM), generalized liquid drop model (GLDM), and several sets of analytic formulas. It is found that the minimal half-lives are at Nd = 50 (Nd is the neutron number of the daughter nucleus) for the same kind cluster emission because of the Q value (released energy) shell effect at Nd = 50. Meanwhile, it is shown that the half-lives of α-like (Ae = 4n, Ze = Ne. Ze and Ne are the charge number and neutron number of the emitted cluster, respectively.) cluster emissions leading to the isotopes with Zd = 50 (Zd is the proton number of the daughter nucleus) are easier to measure than those of non-α-like (Ae = 4n + 2) cases due to the large Q values in α-like cluster emission processes. Finally, some α-like CR half-lives of the Nd = 50 nuclei and their neighbours are predicted, which are useful for searching for the new CR in future experiments.
The generalized liquid drop model (GLDM) is firstly extended to study the two-proton (2p) radioactivity half-lives of the ground-state of nuclei. According to the comparison between the calculated half-lives and the experimental data, it is shown that the GLDM describes the 2p radioactivity half-lives well. In addition, by comparing its accuracy with other models, it is found that the GLDM has a comparable accuracy with them. Finally, the 2p radioactivity half-lives of some most probable candidates are predicted with the GLDM by inputting the Q2p values (the released energy of the 2p radioactivity) from the updated AME 2016 Mass Table, which may be useful for future experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
