Abstract

We have studied the cluster radioactivity of actinides in the atomic number range \(89<Z<103\) in the framework of a WKB approximation. We have studied the emission of \(^{9}\hbox {Be}\), \(^{10}\hbox {B}\), \(^{11}\hbox {B}\), \(^{12}\hbox {C}\), \(^{14}\hbox {N}\), \(^{16}\hbox {O}\), \(^{19}\hbox {F}\), \(^{20}\hbox {Ne}\), \(^{21}\hbox {Ne}\), \(^{22}\hbox {Ne}\), \(^{23}\hbox {Na}\), \(^{24}\hbox {Mg}\), \(^{25}\hbox {Mg}\), \(^{26}\hbox {Mg}\), \(^{27}\hbox {Al}\), \(^{28}\hbox {Si}\), \(^{29}\hbox {Si}\), \(^{30}\hbox {Si}\), \(^{31}\hbox {P}\), \(^{32}\hbox {S}\), \(^{33}\hbox {S}\), \(^{34}\hbox {S}\), \(^{35}\hbox {Cl}\), \(^{36}\hbox {Ar}\), \(^{38}\hbox {Ar}\), \(^{40}\hbox {Ar}\), \(^{39}\hbox {K}\), \(^{41}\hbox {K}\) and \(^{40}\hbox {Ca}\) from the actinide nuclei. We have also compared the present work with that of available experiments and identified the dominant decay mode of actinide nuclei.
