PCM is based on the quantummechanical tunneling mechanism of penetration of the preformed fragments through a potential barrier, calculated within WKB approximation. To explore the competing aspects of α and one proton radioactivity, we have chosen emitters present immediately above and below the Z = 82 shell closure i.e. <sup>177</sup>Tl and <sup>185</sup>Bi by taking into account the effects of deformations (β<sub>2</sub>) and orientations of outgoing nuclei. The minimized values of fragmentation potential and maximized values of preformation probability (P<sub>0</sub>) for proton and alpha fragment demonstrated the crucial role played by even Z - even N daughter and shell closure effect of Z = 82 daughter, in <sup>177</sup>Tl and <sup>185</sup>Bi, respectively. The higher values of P<sub>0</sub> of the one proton further reveal significance of nuclear structure in the proton radioactivity. From the comparison of proton and α decay, we see that the former is heavily dominating with larger values of P<sub>0</sub> in comparison to the later. Theoretically calculated half-lives of one proton and α emission for spherical and deformed considerations have also been compared with available experimental data.</p> ER -
