Abstract
Considering various initial deformations, the ground, first excited, and second excited states binding energies are calculated using the effective field theory motivated relativistic mean-field based IOPB-I force parameter. The alpha decay chains for both the 207Th and 208Th are examined. As observed for both nuclei, it takes four subsequent α-particle emissions to reach the stable Pb nucleus. The half-lives determined by two widely used Viola-Seaborg and modified universal decay law formulas are compared with the available experimental data. The surface property-like symmetry energy is also predicted for these nuclei in the framework of the coherent density fluctuation model and establishes a connection between the decay behavior and the symmetry energy.
