TL;DR: In this paper, single-particle levels in a folded Yukawa potential are studied as functions of various types of distortions, and the level diagrams are plotted versus an elongation coordinate in the fission direction.

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical inertial-mass function is employed to calculate the spontaneous-fission half-lives of superheavy elements in the actinide region.
Abstract: The stability problem for the superheavy elements has been reconsidered based on the use of the shape-dependent droplet model and the modified-oscillator potential. The effect of axial asymmetry on the barrier heights is included. A semi-empirical inertial-mass function is employed. Alternatively the inertial-mass parameters are calculated microscopically. The spontaneous-fission half-lives are calculated with these inertials. Both of the latter were renormalized to give optimal agreement with experimental half-lives in the actinide region. The resulting spontaneous-fission half-lives in the SHE region are somewhat shorter than those of most previous estimates, predicting, for example, around 105 years as the total half-live for the most stable nucleus 294110.
