Modes of Radioactive Decay, Decay Schemes, and Series

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Note that a radioisotope or radionuclide has unstable nuclei that do not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together. Thus, it results in a decay process. In this lecture, I will discuss the different modes of radioactive decay especially those radionuclides used in medicine.

Outline:
Introduction
Beta minus Decay and (𝛽^−,𝛾) emission
Isomeric Transition and Internal Conversion
Electron Capture and (𝐸𝐶,𝛾) emission
Positron (𝛽^+ ) and (𝛽^+,𝛾) Decay
𝛼 emission and Nuclear Fission
