Elemental Analysis - Livermorium (Lv)

Livermorium is a highly radioactive metal, of which only a few atoms have been made to date. There is no commercial use of this element outside of scientific research.

Livermorium is a synthetic element and is obtained by bombarding curium atoms with calcium. Its most stable isotope, livermorium-293, has a half-life of about 53 milliseconds.

Announced to have been discovered by Russian and American scientists in 2000, livermorium was produced by bombarding curium-248 atoms with calcium-48 ions. In this bombardment, livermorium-0.6 isotope and four free neutrons were obtained with a half-life of about 292 milliseconds.

Since only a few livermorium atoms have been produced so far, it has no use outside of basic scientific research. In fact, it has not yet been produced in visible or observable quantities.

As a result of its position in group 16 of the periodic table, livermorium is expected to be classified as one of the other metals and to have properties similar to the metalloid polonium. Few elements have been synthesized to confirm this.

In short, livermorium is an artificially produced radioactive, transuranium element. It is a product of nuclear fusion as a very heavy element.

In the tests and analyzes carried out in our organization, which has a wide range of technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and applies the most modern methods, national and international standards and legal regulations in force are complied with. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are livermorium (Lv) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
