Table 2. Properties of Selected Zirconium Isotopesa.
Isotope | t1/2 | Iγ | Eγ | Iec | Iβ+ | Emax(β+) | Eave(β+) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
86Zr | 16.5 h | 100% | 241 keV | ||||
88Zr | 83.4 d | 100% | 390 keV | ||||
89Zr | 78.4 h | 100% | 909 keV | 76.6% | 22.3% | 897 keV | 397 keV |
t1/2 is the half-life of the radioisotopes; Iγ and Eγ refer to the intensity and energy of the γ emission, respectively; IEC denotes the intensity of the electron capture decay; Iβ+ is the intensity of the positron emission decay, and Emax(β+) and Eave(β+) designate the maximum and average energies of the decay by positron emission, respectively.49.
