Description

Phenomenological interactions have been successful in the description of the alpha cluster structure of light nuclei. The interactions however lack the required fundamental Nucleon-Nucleon character. This shortcoming is addressed by exploiting the known surface localization of the cluster that is well described by microscopic interactions. The ground-state band properties of 94Mo and 136Te were investigated using a Saxon-Woods type local interaction with parameters obtained from the microscopic double-folding potential. The hybrid interaction is supplemented with a short range interaction to correct the observed underbinding of the ground state resulting from possibly the core-cluster overlap. The energy spectra, reduced intra band transition rates, decay width and the root- mean-square charge radii were satisfactorily reproduced
