We
calculate cluster decay half-life of the heavy nuclei by using the WKB barrier
potential model. In this model, the cluster is already preformed in the parent
nucleus and orbiting around the daughter nucleus before tunneling through a
potential barrier between the cluster and daughter nuclei. In this paper, we
purposethe Morse potential describing interactions between the cluster and
daughter nuclei in order to calculate the cluster decay half-life of the heavy
nuclei. The Morse potential model is used frequently the vibrational and
rotational energy spectrum of diatomic molecules and atomic scattering process.
Similar calculation for Morse potential is used the vibrational and rotational
energy spectrum of the nucleus and there is also experimental evidence that the
nucleus has a molecular structure. Since the nucleus has a molecular structure,
we use the Morse potential in order to describe the interactions between the
cluster and daughter nuclei and show that the Morse potential is a convenient
model in order to explain cluster decay half-life of the heavy nuclei.
