Recently, we have determined surface distributions of $\alpha$ clusters in the ground state of $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$ from $\alpha$-transfer cross sections, without investigating the properties of its excited states. In this paper we extend our…
Alpha and cluster decays are analyzed for heavy nuclei located above $^{208}$Pb on the chart of nuclides: $^{216-220}$Rn and $^{220-224}$Ra, that are also candidates for observing the $2 \alpha$ decay mode. A microscopic theoretical…
