Abstract

The modes of decay for the even-even isotopes of superheavy nuclei of Z = 118 and 120 with neutron number 160 ae<currency> N ae<currency> 204 are investigated in the framework of the axially deformed relativistic mean field model. The asymmetry parameter eta and the relative neutron-proton asymmetry of the surface to the center (R (eta) ) are estimated from the ground state density distributions of the nucleus. We analyze the resulting asymmetry parameter eta and the relative neutron-proton asymmetry R (eta) of the density play a crucial role in the mode(s) of decay and its half-life. Moreover, the excess neutron richness on the surface, facets a superheavy nucleus for beta (-) decays. (AU)
