snf_simulations.data.mendeleev._get_isotope_properties_cached(isotope_name: str) → snf_simulations.data.mendeleev.IsotopeProperties

Return cached isotope properties loaded from mendeleev.

snf_simulations.data.mendeleev.get_isotope_properties(isotope_name: str) → snf_simulations.data.mendeleev.IsotopeProperties

Get the mass, half-life and decay modes for the given isotope.

Uses data from the mendeleev package.

Parameters:

isotope_name – Name of the isotope. Format should be ‘ElementMass’ (e.g. Ru106) or ‘MassElement’ (e.g. 106Ru).

Returns:

• the molar mass of the isotope (in g/mol)

• the half-life of the isotope (in years)

• the decay modes of the isotope (as a list of strings)

Return type:
