Abstract

The macroscopic‐microscopic method is used to illustrate the shell effect stabilizing superheavy nuclei and to study the stability of semi‐spheroidal clusters deposited on planar surfaces. The alpha decay of superheavy nuclei is calculated using three models: the analytical superasymmetric fission model; the universal curve, and the semiempirical formula taking into account the shell effects. Analytical relationships are obtained for the energy levels of the new semi‐spheroidal harmonic oscillator (SSHO) single‐particle model and for the surface and curvature energies of the semi‐spheroidal clusters. The maximum degeneracy of the SSHO is reached at a super‐deformed prolate shape for which the minimum of the liquid drop model energy is also attained.
