62Ni
62Ni is a stable isotope of nickel with mass number 62. It contains 28 protons and 34 neutrons. In natural nickel, 62Ni accounts for a small but measurable fraction of the element’s isotopic composition, typically around a few percent of natural nickel.
As an even-even nucleus, the ground state of 62Ni has zero spin (I = 0) and positive parity.
Natural 62Ni is non-radioactive and does not decay. Because of its stability and relatively significant natural
62Ni is produced in stellar environments as part of the synthesis of iron-peak elements. It is formed
