Abstract：
Within the alpha-cluster model, we particularly investigate the alpha decay of exotic nuclei in the vicinity of the N=126 neutron shell plus the Z=82 proton shell. The systematics of alpha-preformation probability (P_α), as an indicator of the shell effect, is deduced from the ratio of the experimental decay width to the calculated one. Through the comparative analysis of the P_α trend in the N=124-130 isotonic chain, the N=126 and Z=82 shell closures are believed to strongly affect the formation of the alpha particle before its penetration. Additionally, the P_α variety in Po and Rn isotopes is presented as another proof for such an influence. More importantly, it may be concluded that the expected neutron (or proton) shell effect gradually fades away along with the increasing valence proton (or neutron) number. The odd-even staggering presented in the P_α value is also discussed.
