Towards a microscopic description of 212Po alpha-decay

With the aim to calculate the matrix elements of 212Po alpha-decay we present details about the structure of the nearby nuclei 208Pb, 210Pb, 210Bi, 210Po and 212Po. We also present the main principles of the construction of the nuclear models where the energy states of the nuclei under consideration are described as the energy states of the pairs of nucleons outside the core 208Pb. The wave functions obtained in the framework of this model are used to calculate the alpha-decay matrix element.
