Isotopes of titanium#Titanium-59

{{Short description|none}}

{{Infobox titanium isotopes}}

Naturally occurring titanium (22Ti) is composed of five stable isotopes; 46Ti, 47Ti, 48Ti, 49Ti and 50Ti with 48Ti being the most abundant (73.8% natural abundance). Twenty-one radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable being 44Ti with a half-life of 60 years, 45Ti with a half-life of 184.8 minutes, 51Ti with a half-life of 5.76 minutes, and 52Ti with a half-life of 1.7 minutes. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 33 seconds, and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than half a second.{{cite web |url=http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/periodic/Ti-pg2.html#Nuclides |title=Periodic Table of Elements: Ti - Titanium |access-date=2006-12-26 |last=Barbalace |first=Kenneth L. |year=2006}}

The isotopes of titanium range in atomic mass from 39.00 u (39Ti) to 64.00 u (64Ti). The primary decay mode for isotopes lighter than the stable isotopes (lighter than 46Ti) is β+ and the primary mode for the heavier ones (heavier than 50Ti) is β−; their respective decay products are scandium isotopes and the primary products after are vanadium isotopes.

Two stable isotopes of titanium (47Ti and 49Ti) have non-zero nuclear spin of 5/2- and 7/2-, respectively, and thus are NMR-active.{{cite book |doi=10.1016/bs.arnmr.2015.10.001 |title=Reviewing 47/49Ti Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy |series=Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy |date=2016 |last1=Lucier |first1=Bryan E.G. |last2=Huang |first2=Yining |volume=88 |pages=1–78 |isbn=978-0-12-804713-2 }}

Titanium-44

Titanium-44 (44Ti) is a radioactive isotope of titanium that undergoes electron capture to an excited state of scandium-44 with a half-life of 60 years, before the ground state of 44Sc and ultimately 44Ca are populated.{{cite journal|last1=Motizuki|first1=Y.|last2=Kumagai|first2=S.|title=Radioactivity of the key isotope 44Ti in SN 1987A|date=2004|journal=AIP Conference Proceedings|volume=704|issue=1|pages=369–374|doi=10.1063/1.1737130|arxiv=astro-ph/0312620 |bibcode=2004AIPC..704..369M }} Because titanium-44 can only decay through electron capture, its half-life increases with its ionization state and it becomes stable in its fully ionized state (that is, having a charge of +22).{{cite journal|last1=Mochizuki|first1=Y.|last2=Takahashi|first2=K.|last3=Janka|first3=H.-Th. |last4=Hillebrandt|first4=W.|last5=Diehl|first5=R.|date=2008|title=Titanium-44: Its effective decay rate in young supernova remnants, and its abundance in Cas A|journal=Astronomy and Astrophysics|volume=346|issue=3|pages=831–842|arxiv=astro-ph/9904378}}

Titanium-44 is produced in relative abundance in the alpha process in stellar nucleosynthesis and the early stages of supernova explosions.{{cite report |last1=Fryer |first1=C. |last2=Dimonte |first2=G. |last3=Ellinger |first3=E. |last4=Hungerford |first4=A. |last5=Kares |first5=B. |last6=Magkotsios |first6=G. |last7=Rockefeller |first7=G. |last8=Timmes |first8=F. |last9=Woodward |first9=P. |last10=Young |first10=P. |title=Nucleosynthesis in the Universe, Understanding 44Ti |date=2011 |publisher=Los Alamos National Laboratory |work=ADTSC Science Highlights |pages=42–43 |url=https://www.lanl.gov/orgs/adtsc/publications/science_highlights_2011/docs/2CosmoPDFs/fryer.pdf}} It is produced when calcium-40 fuses with an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) in a star's high-temperature environment; the resulting 44Ti nucleus can then fuse with another alpha particle to form chromium-48. The age of supernovae may be determined through measurements of gamma-ray emissions from titanium-44 and its abundance. It was observed in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant and SN 1987A at a relatively high concentration, a consequence of delayed decay resulting from ionizing conditions.
