Lanthanum - 57La: isotope data

The two isotopes of Lanthanum do not appear to have many applications. Only La-139 is used for the production of the medical radioisotope Ce-139.

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 lanthanum are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
138La 137.907105 (6) 0.090 (1) 5 3.7139
139La 138.906347 (5) 99.910 (1) 7/2 2.7832
Isotope abundances of lanthanum
Isotope abundances of lanthanum. 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 lanthanum are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of lanthanum, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
