Distinct ground state features and the decay chains of Z = 121 Superheavy Nuclei
arXiv:1804.10830 · doi:10.1142/S021830131850074X
Abstract
A fully systematic study of even and odd isotopes (281 A 380) of Z = 121 superheavy nuclei is presented in theoretical frameworks of Relativistic mean-field plus state dependent BCS approach and Macroscopic-Microscopic approach with triaxially deformed Nilson Strutinsky prescription. The ground state properties namely shell correction, binding energy, two- and one- proton and neutron separation energy, shape, deformation, density profile and the radius are estimated that show strong evidence for magicity in N = 164, 228. Central depletion in the charge density due to large repulsive Coulomb field indicating bubble-like structure is reported. A comprehensive analysis of the possible decay modes specifically -decay and spontaneous fission (SF) is presented and the probable -decay chains are evaluated. Results are compared with FRDM calculations and the available experimental data which show excellent agreement.
