Abstract

Experimental studies of the cluster structures in 9,10Be and 13,14C have been performed. Evidence for the α+5He decay of 9Be excited states, α+6He decays of 10Be∗ , α+9Be decay of 13C ∗ and for the decays of 14C ∗ into α+10Be were found. These decay processes indicate the cluster structures of the excited states. The results are compared with recent suggestions for the presence of molecule-like structures based upon α-particles and valence neutrons in Be and C isotopes.
