- New estimates of partial α-decay half-life, , for 156–162,174,176Hf isotopes by a semi-empirical, one-parameter model are given. The used model is based on the quantum mechanical tunneling mechanism through a potential barrier, where the Coulomb, centrifugal and overlapping components to the barrier have been considered within the spherical nucleus approximation. This approach enables to reproduce, within a factor 2, the measured of ground-state to ground-state (gs–gs) α-transitions for the artificially produced 156–162Hf isotopes. Half-life predictions for α-transitions from the ground-state of 159,161Hf isotopes to the first gamma-excited level of 155,157Yb isotopes are reported for the first time. The model also provides -values of a and a for the naturally occurring 174Hf and 176Hf isotopes, respectively, in quite good agreement with a number of estimates by other authors. In addition, the present methodology indicates that 174,176Hf isotopes exhibit α-transition to the first gamma-excited level of their daughter Ytterbium isotopes which half-lives are found a and a, respectively, with a chance of being measured by improved α-detection and α-spectrometry methods available nowadays.

用半经验方法重新研究了is同位素的α衰变半衰期
-部分α衰变半衰期的新估计,给出了半经验的一参数模型对156–162,174,176 Hf同位素的分析结果。使用的模型基于通过势垒的量子力学隧穿机制,其中已在球形核近似中考虑了库仑,离心和与该垒的重叠分量。这种方法能够在因子2内重现所测得的人工产生的156-162 Hf同位素的基态到基态(gs-gs)α跃迁的变化。首次报道了从基态159,161 Hf同位素到第一伽马激发水平155,157 Yb同位素的α跃迁的半衰期预测。该模型还提供的值 和 天然存在的174 Hf和176 Hf同位素的a,与其他作者的大量估计非常吻合。此外,本方法学表明,174,176个f同位素具有向其子级Y同位素的第一个伽马激发能级的α-跃迁,该半衰期被发现 和 分别通过当今可用的改进的α检测和α光谱法进行测量。
