Copper Metal 63 is a naturally occurring isotope of the element copper that has special application in noninvasive studies of copper metabolism. It has also been used in the production of Cu-64, which is used in cancer diagnosis. Another application of Cu-63 is in the manufacture of medical radioisotope Zn-62. The isotope can be found in a variety of forms, including pellets, nanoparticles, and ultra-high purity.

The isotope has a relative atomic mass of 63/29. It is the most stable of all copper isotopes, and has 69% of the 63/29 proportion in naturally occurring copper. Besides its stable status, it has special applications in the gastrointestinal tract, which is important in detecting and treating copper deficiency. Other applications include the production of Zn-62 and the study of copper metabolism.

When measuring the atomic mass of an isotope, it is important to note that the nucleus contains a slightly heavier neutron than the proton. This is because the neutron has more total energy than the proton. By counting the number of neutrons in the nucleus, you can estimate the atom’s mass. In addition, the nucleus has 29 protons, which means that almost all the atom’s mass is contained in the nucleus.

Various nuclear spectroscopic quadrupole moments have been measured for 6329 Cu. These measurements show that the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is 0.314(6) b.
