Abstract
We apply a principle of maximum stability to determine the most favoured co re-cluster decompositions of Hg-193, U-236 and Pu-240. The results suggest two distinct modes of clusterization for each nucleus, one of which can be associated with the ground state band, and the other with an excited superd eformed band. We compare the calculated properties of these bands with the corresponding data available in all three nuclei. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
