In 1896,Becquerel first observed the natural radiation of nuclei,and the discipline of nuclear physics was born.In the natural radiation phenomenon of atomic nuclei,? decay is an important tool for studying super-heavy nuclei,which can provide a wealth of information about the nuclear structure and stability of super-heavy nuclei.Studying proton radioactivity can extract important information about nuclear structures beyond the proton drip line,such as the shell structure.Therefore,studying ? decay and proton emission phenomena is of great significance to the research and development of nuclear physics.In this work,based on the Gamow-like model and electrostatic shielding,we study the effect of electrostatic shielding on the classical turning point,the half-life of ? decay and we also predict the half-life of seven even-even nuclei with Z=120 and some un-synthesized nuclei on their ? decay chains.In addition,the nuclear interaction potential was systematically studied by Skyrme-Hartree-Fock,the half-life of proton radioactivity was systematically studied by two-potential approach within Skyrme-Hartree-Fock and we also extend this model to predict proton emission half-lives of 13 nuclei,whose proton emission is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantied.This work includes the following two topics:(1)The difference between considering the electrostatic shielding and not considering this effect for the nucleus is studied.Based on the Gamowlike model,we systematically studied the ? decays of 169 even-even nuclei,132 odd neutron-even proton nuclei,94 even neutron-odd proton nuclei,and 66 odd-odd nuclei half-lives.The improved Gamow-like model is used to predict the ? decay decay chain of even-even nuclei with proton numbers Z=120 and compared with Coulomb potential and Proximity potential model with proximity potential Bass73 formalism,the Viola-SeaborgSobiczewski empirical formula,the Universal curve,Royer formula,the Universal decay law,the Ni-Ren-Dong-Xu empirical formula.The results show that the electrostatic shielding is more pronounced for nuclei with a large number of protons and a small ? decay energy.And compared with the Gamow-like model,the improved Gamow-like model is in good agreement with the experimental data.At last,? decay half-life predicted using the improved Gamow-like model has a small deviation from known experimental data and is in the middle of all predictions.(2)The Skyrme-Hartree-Fock was used to calculate the nuclear potential in the proton radioactivity and compared with the standard WoodSaxon type nuclear potential.Based on two-potential approach within Skyrme-Hartree-Fock,we systematically studied the proton radioactive half-life of 53?Z?83 nuclei and compared with Coulomb potential and proximity potential model with Guo-2013 formalism,two-potential approach with folding potentials model within density-dependent M3 Y,and The Universal Decay law of proton emission.We also extend our model to predict proton emission half-lives of 13 nuclei,whose proton emission is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified.The results show that the calculated nuclear potential obtained by SkyrmeHartree-Fock is closer to the Wood-Saxon type nuclear potential.And compared with other models,the results calculated using our model are more consistent with the experimental data.Finally,a brief summary and outlook are given.
