Abstract

In this paper, the half-lives of some unstable isotopes of mercury that emit clusters with excess neutrons equal to zero have been computed, since the predicted alpha half-lives match well the experimental values. The probability of the cluster tunneling through the potential barrier is found by solving the Schrodinger equation using a finite difference technique. The finite difference technique (FDT) successfully predicted the cluster decay half-life and cluster decay width for some isotopes of mercury. The predictions obtained from this study by using modified Woods-Saxon potential (WSFD) show surprisingly good agreements in comparison with the experimental data or other theoretical model results.
