(Constructor)

source code 

Set up the isotope object.

Parameters:
  • A (int) - The mass number of the isotope.
  • atomic_mass (str) - The atomic mass of the isotope. This uses the string notation with the uncertainty specified in brackets at the end.
  • spin (int or float) - Nuclear spin or angular momentum of the isotope in units of h/2pi.
  • gyromagnetic_ratio (float) - The nuclear gyromagnetic ratio.
