摘要
Magic islands for extra-stable nuclei in the midst of the sea of fission-instability were predicted to be around Z = 114,124 or, 126 with N = 184, and Z = 120, with N = 172. Whether these fission-survived superheavy nuclei with high Z and N would live long enough for detection or, undergo alpha-decay in a very short time, remains an open question. alpha-decay half lives of nuclei with 130 >= Z >= 100 have been calculated in a WKB framework using density-dependent M3Y interaction with Q-values from different mass formulae. The results are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. Fission survived Sg nuclei with Z = 106, N = 162 is predicted to have the highest alpha-decay half life (similar to 3.2 h) in the Z = 106-108, N = 160-164 region called small island/peninsula. Superheavy nuclei with Z > 118 are found to have alpha-decay half lives of the order of microseconds or less. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
