Difference between Neodymium and Samarium–neodymium dating

Neodymium vs. Samarium–neodymium dating

Neodymium is a chemical element with symbol Nd and atomic number 60. Samarium–neodymium dating is a radiometric dating method useful for determining the ages of rocks and meteorites, based on radioactive decay of a long-lived samarium (Sm) isotope to a radiogenic neodymium (Nd) isotope.

Similarities between Neodymium and Samarium–neodymium dating

Neodymium and Samarium–neodymium dating have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha decay, Crust (geology), Half-life, Isotope, Radioactive decay, Rare-earth element.

Alpha decay

Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into an atom with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.

Crust (geology)

In geology, the crust is the outermost solid shell of a rocky planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite.

Half-life

Half-life (symbol t1⁄2) is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.

Rare-earth element

A rare-earth element (REE) or rare-earth metal (REM), as defined by IUPAC, is one of a set of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the fifteen lanthanides, as well as scandium and yttrium.
