The Quark-Meson-Coupling (QMC) model has been applied to the study of the properties of even-even super-heavy nuclei with 96 < Z < 110, over a wide range of neutron numbers. The aim is to identify the deformed shell gaps at N = 152 and N = 162 predicted in macroscopic-microscopic (macro-micro) models, in a model based on the mean-field Hartree-Fock+BCS approximation. The predictive power of the model has been tested on proton and neutron spherical shell gaps in light doubly closed (sub)shell nuclei. In the super-heavy region, the ground state binding energies of 98 < Z < 110 and 146 < N < 160 differ, in the majority of cases, from the measured values by less than 2.5 MeV, with the deviation decreasing with increasing Z and N. The axial quadrupole deformation parameter, calculated over the range of neutron numbers 138 < N < 184, revealed a prolate-oblate coexistence and shape transition around N = 168, followed by an oblate-spherical transition towards the expected N = 184 shell closure in Cm, Cf, Fm and No. The closure is not predicted in Rf, Sg, Hs and Ds as another shape transition to a highly deformed shape in Sg, Hs and Ds for N > 178 appears, while 288Rf (N = 184) remains oblate. The bulk properties predicted by QMC are found to have a limited sensitivity to the deformed shell gaps at N = 152 and 162. However, the evolution of the neutron single-particle spectra with 0 < beta2 < 0.55 gives unambiguous evidence for the location and size of the N = 152 and 162 gaps as a function of Z and N. In addition, the neutron number dependence of neutron pairing energies provides supporting evidence for existence of the energy gaps.

We present a selection of the first results obtained in a comprehensive calculation of ground state properties of even-even superheavy nuclei in the region of 96 < Z < 136 and 118 < N < 320 from the Quark-Meson-Coupling model (QMC). Ground state binding energies, the neutron and proton number dependence of quadrupole deformations and Q$_alpha$ values are reported for even-even nuclei with 100 < Z < 136 and compared with available experimental data and predictions of macro-microscopic models. Predictions of properties of nuclei, including Q$_alpha$ values, relevant for planning future experiments are presented.
Potential energy surfaces and fission barriers of superheavy nuclei are analyzed in the macroscopic-microscopic model. The Lublin-Strasbourg Drop (LSD) is used to obtain the macroscopic part of the energy, whereas the shell and pairing energy corrections are evaluated using the Yukawa-folded potential. A standard flooding technique has been used to determine the barrier heights. It was shown the Fourier shape parametrization containing only three deformation parameters reproduces well the nuclear shapes of nuclei on their way to fission. In addition, the non-axial degree of freedom is taken into account to describe better the form of nuclei around the ground state and in the saddles region. Apart from the symmetric fission valley, a new very asymmetric fission mode is predicted in most superheavy nuclei. The fission fragment mass distributions of considered nuclei are obtained by solving the 3D Langevin equations.
In present work, we systematically study the $alpha$ decay half-lives of 170 even-even nuclei with $60 leqslant Z leqslant 118$ within the two-potential approach while the $alpha$ decay preformation factor $P_alpha$ is obtained by the cluster-formation model. The calculated results can well reproduce the experimental data. In addition, we extend this model to predict the $alpha$ decay half-lives of 64 even-even nuclei with $104 leqslant Z leqslant 128$ whose $alpha$ decay is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified. For comparing, the two famous models i.e. SemFIS proposed by D. Poenaru ${et al.}$ [href {https://doi.org/10.1209/0295-5075/77/62001}{Europhys. Lett. textbf{77} (2007) 62001}] and UDL proposed by C. Qi ${et al.}$ [href {https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.072501}{Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{103} (2009) 072501}] are used. The predicted results of these models are basically consistent. At the same time, through analyzing the changing trend of $alpha$ decay energy $Q_{alpha}$ of emph{Z} = 118, 120, 122, 124, 126 and 128 isotopes nuclei with the increasing of neutron number emph{N} and that of $alpha$ decay preformation factor $P_alpha$ of those isotopes even-even nuclei with the increasing of neutron number emph{N}, emph{N} = 178 may be a new neutron magic number.
The reanimation of the investigations dedicated to 0^{+} states energies and E0 transitions between them is provoked by new and more precise experimental techniques that not only made revision of the previous data but also gave a possibility to obtain a great amount of new 0^{+} states energies and conversion electrons data. We suggest one phenomenological model for estimation of the E0 transition nuclear matrix elements. Recently theoretical calculations [1] predicted existence of a 0^{+} state with energy 0.68 MeV in ^{160}Dy nucleus. Powerful enough arguments in favor of existence of 681.3 keV state in ^{160}Dy nucleus are presented.
A unitary description for wobbling motion in even-even and even-odd nuclei is presented. In both cases compact formulas for wobbling frequencies are derived. The accuracy of the harmonic approximation is studied for the yrast as well as for the excited bands in the even-even case. Important results for the structure of the wave function and its behavior inside the two wells of the potential energy function corresponding to the Bargmann representation are pointed out. Applications to $^{158}$Er and $^{163}$Lu reveal a very good agreement with available data. Indeed, the yrast energy levels in the even-even case and the first four triaxial super-deformed bands, TSD1,TSD2,TSD3 and TSD4, are realistically described. Also, the results agree with the data for the E2 and M1 intra- as well as inter-band transitions. Perspectives for the formalism development and an extensive application to several nuclei from various regions of the nuclides chart are presented.
