Iron - 26Fe: isotope data

Iron isotopes are mainly used in nutritional studies, with Fe-57 and Fe-58 being the two most commonly used Fe isotopes. Studies have included iron-loss by human adolescents, conditions for effective iron absorption, interventions for anemia and genetic iron control. The Fe-54 isotope is used for the production of radioactive Fe-55 which in turn is used as an electron capture detector and in X-ray fluorescence. Fe-56 can be used for the production of radioactive Co-55 which is used as a tumor seeking agent in bleomycin.

Naturally occurring isotopes

This table shows information about naturally occuring isotopes, their atomic masses, their natural abundances, their nuclear spins, and their magnetic moments. Further data for radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes) of iron are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
54Fe 53.9396127 (15) 5.845 (35) 0
56Fe 55.9349393 (16) 91.754 (36) 0
57Fe 56.9353958 (16) 2.119 (10) 1/2 0.09062294
58Fe 57.9332773 (16) 0.282 (4) 0
Isotope abundances of iron
Isotope abundances of iron. In the above, the most intense ion is set to 100% since this corresponds best to the output from a mass spectrometer. This is not to be confused with the relative percentage isotope abundances which totals 100% for all the naturally occurring isotopes.

Radiosotope data

Further data for naturally occuring isotopes of iron are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of iron, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
Isotope Mass / Da Half-life Mode of decay Nuclear spin Nuclear magnetic moment
52Fe 51.94812 8.28 h EC to 52Mn 0
53Fe 52.945312 8.51 m EC to 53Mn 7/2
55Fe 54.938298 2.73 y EC to 55Mn 3/2
59Fe 58.934880 44.51 d β- to 59Co 3/2 0.29
60Fe 59.934077 1.5 x 106 y β- to 60Co 0
