The calculated $\\beta$-stable nuclei in the $\\beta$-stable region are in good agreement with the ones obtained by M\\\"{o}ller \\emph{et al}.. The half-lives of the nuclei close to the $\\beta$-stable region are calculated and the competition between $\\alpha$-decay and $\\beta$-decay is systematically investigated. The calculated half-lives and the suggested decay modes are well in line with the experimental results. The predictions for half-lives and decay modes of the nuclei with Z = 107$-$110 are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-16T00:02:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.10.Tg", "23.60.+e", "27.90.+b" ], "keywords": [ "superheavy nuclei", "competition", "stable region", "decay modes", "beta-decay" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1674-1137/38/12/124101" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1277927 } } }
