    Multipurpose use of deuterium, helium, neon, argon, and krypton isotopes


    Helium, Krypton


    Isotope gas is a gas with the same chemical properties but different neutron numbers. They have their own applications in many fields. Here are some common isotope gases and their applications:

    Helium


    1. - D2 gas:


    Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): Due to its low signal intensity in NMR, it is commonly used in high-resolution NMR experiments to replace ordinary hydrogen gas, thus helping to improve the resolution of spectra.


    Nuclear fusion research: used to simulate the nuclear reactions of the sun and stars in nuclear fusion research.


    2. Helium (helium-4, helium-3) - He:


    Balloon inflation: Helium gas is commonly used for inflating balloons because it is lighter than air and can keep balloons floating in the air.


    Liquid helium cooling: Helium-4 is commonly used for low-temperature testing and equipment cooling of superconducting magnets and nuclear magnetic resonance instruments.


    Helium-3 is used for nuclear magnetic resonance: Helium-3 is used to study the properties of substances in nuclear magnetic resonance experiments.


    3. Neon gas (Neon-20, Neon-22, Neon-21) - Ne:


    Laser: Used for manufacturing lasers that produce visible and infrared light.


    Neon lights: Neon gas is usually used to make neon lights, and when current passes through neon gas, it emits bright colored light.


    4. Argon (argon-40) - Ar:


    Protective gas: Argon is a protective gas used in welding, cutting, and arc welding to prevent metal oxidation.


    Cryogenic fractionation: Argon gas is used in low-temperature experiments, such as cryogenic fractionation, to separate the components of gas mixtures.


    5. Krypton (Krypton-86, Krypton-84) - Kr:


    Laser: Krypton is used to manufacture certain lasers that produce ultraviolet and visible light.


    Fluorescent lamp: Krypton gas is also used for fluorescent lamps, producing bright white light.


    In different applications, the different neutron numbers and nuclear properties of these isotopic gases give them specific advantages. So, depending on the specific application
