Abstract The self-consistent energy density method is applied to the study of the properties of superheavy nuclei with 270〈A〈500. The shell structure,α-decay energy andα-decay half-life are predicted for the heaviestβ-stable isotope of each even element. The characteristics of nuclear densities and single-particle potentials in the superheavy region are also examined, with a particular attention on the surface diffuseness. After an approximate calculation of their fission barrier heights, only a few heavy isotopes of elements 106 and 108 are predicted to have a small chance to be found in nature. Their possible formation by ther-process is discussed.
