    In the present study, the newly established preformation formula is applied for the first time to study the kinematics of the cluster emission from various radioactive nuclei, especially those that decay to the double shell closure Pb nucleus and its neighbors as daughters. The recently proposed universal cluster preformation formula has been established based on the concepts that underscore the influence of mass and charge asymmetry ( and ), cluster mass , and the Q-value, paving the way to quantify the energy contribution during preformation as well as during the tunneling process separately. The cluster-daughter interaction potential is obtained by folding the relativistic mean-field (RMF) densities with the recently developed microscopic R3Y using the NL and the phenomenological M3Y NN potentials to compare their adaptability. The penetration probabilities are calculated from the WKB approximation. With the inclusion of the new preformation probability , the predicted half-lives of the R3Y and M3Y interactions are in good agreement with the experimental data. Furthermore, a careful inspection reflects slight differences in the decay half-lives, which arise from their respective barrier properties. The for systems with double magic shell closure Pb daughter are found to be an order of higher than those with neighboring Pb daughter nuclei. By exploring the contributions of the decay energy, the recoil effect of the daughter nucleus is evaluated, in contrast to several other conjectures. Thus, the centrality of the -value in the decay process is demonstrated and redefined within the preformed cluster-decay model. Additionally, we have introduced a simple and intuitive set of criteria that governs the estimation of recoil energy in the cluster radioactivity.

    Most neutron-deficient α emitters are known to be of great relevance to the astrophysical rapid neutron capture process in superheavy nuclei. Therefore, in the present work, the decay properties of newly observed superheavy nuclei with Z = 102, i.e., 249No isotope from the α-decay of 253Rf is theoretically investigated using the relativistic mean field (RMF) framework and the NL3* parameter set within the preformed cluster-decay model (PCM). The α-decay chain of 255f is also considered. The RMF densities are folded with the R3Y nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential to deduce the nuclear interaction potential between the decaying fragments. A complete understanding of the penetration of an α-particle across the nuclear Coulomb barrier gives outstanding credence to the assumptions of quantum mechanics. The presence of shell/sub-shell closure is indicated by the formation of peaks along the decay chain and was found to alter the conventional scaling factor observed earlier in the results of the PCM. The calculated half-lives are in close agreement with recent experimental measurements.
