Isotopes of dysprosium

Isotopes of dysprosium (₆₆Dy)
Standard atomic weight Ar°(Dy)
	162.500±0.001; 162.50±0.01 (abridged)[3][4];

Naturally occurring dysprosium (₆₆Dy) is composed of 7 stable isotopes, ¹⁵⁶Dy, ¹⁵⁸Dy, ¹⁶⁰Dy, ¹⁶¹Dy, ¹⁶²Dy, ¹⁶³Dy and ¹⁶⁴Dy, with ¹⁶⁴Dy being the most abundant (28.18% natural abundance). Twenty-nine radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable being ¹⁵⁴Dy with a half-life of 3.0 million years, ¹⁵⁹Dy with a half-life of 144.4 days, and ¹⁶⁶Dy with a half-life of 81.6 hours. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 10 hours, and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than 30 seconds. This element also has 12 meta states, with the most stable being ^165mDy (half-life 1.257 minutes), ^147mDy (half-life 55.7 seconds) and ^145mDy (half-life 13.6 seconds).

The primary decay mode before the most abundant stable isotope, ¹⁶⁴Dy, is electron capture, and the primary mode after is beta decay. The primary decay products before ¹⁶⁴Dy are terbium isotopes, and the primary products after are holmium isotopes. Dysprosium is the heaviest element to have isotopes that are predicted to be stable (except theoretically capable of spontaneous fission) rather than observationally stable isotopes that are predicted to be radioactive.

Geologically exceptional samples are found associated with the Oklo natural nuclear fission reactor, in which the isotopic composition lies outside the reported range. The uncertainty in the atomic mass may exceed the stated value for such specimens.

Dysprosium-165

The radioactive isotope ¹⁶⁵Dy, with a half-life of 2.334 hours, has radiopharmaceutical uses in radiation synovectomy of the knee. It had been previously performed with colloidal-sized particles containing longer-lived isotopes such as ¹⁹⁸Au and ⁹⁰Y. The major problem with the usage of those isotopes was radiation leakage out of the knee. ¹⁶⁵Dy, with its shorter half life, is more suitable for the procedure as radiation leakage can only occur in it's short half life.[7]
