Abstract
The probability of occurrence of an alpha cluster in a ${\mathrm{Po}}^{212}$ nucleus is calculated on the basis of the assumption that the alpha cluster is always formed of a pair of equivalent protons and a pair of equivalent neutrons, each pair coupling to zero angular momentum. It is shown that the calculated probability can be incorporated with Winslow's surface-well model to explain the decay rate of ${\mathrm{Po}}^{212}$.
