Silicon isotopes are used in a variety of applications. Si-28 has been suggested to improve the thermal conductivity of semiconductors. Si-29 is used extensively in NMR spectroscopy. Si-30 has been used to produce the radioisotope Si-31. Si-30 has also been used to study the self-diffusivity of Silicon and it has been used to study the isotope effect on superconductivity.

Naturally occurring isotopes

This table shows information about naturally occuring isotopes, their atomic masses, their natural abundances, their nuclear spins, and their magnetic moments. Further data for radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes) of silicon are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
28Si 27.9769271 (7) 92.2297 (7) 0 0
29Si 28.9764949 (7) 4.6832 (5) 1/2 -0.55529
30Si 29.9737707 (7) 3.0872 (5) 0 0
Isotope abundances of silicon
Isotope abundances of silicon. In the above, the most intense ion is set to 100% since this corresponds best to the output from a mass spectrometer. This is not to be confused with the relative percentage isotope abundances which totals 100% for all the naturally occurring isotopes.

Radiosotope data

Further data for naturally occuring isotopes of silicon are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of silicon, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
