About Deuteron Mass (md)
The deuteron mass is the mass of a deuterium nucleus (one proton + one neutron), approximately 3.344 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
md < mp + mn by 2.224 MeV/c² (the binding energy). This 'mass defect' represents nuclear binding energy.
To convert deuteron masses to kg: multiply by 3.3435837724 × 10⁻²⁷.
Fusion energy research (deuterium-tritium and deuterium-deuterium reactions), NMR/MRI, and neutron production targets.
The deuteron's binding energy (2.224 MeV) is quite small, making it the most weakly bound stable nucleus.
Assuming md = mp + mn exactly — the mass defect (binding energy) makes the deuteron slightly lighter than the sum.
The deuteron is the simplest nucleus with more than one nucleon. Its binding energy (2.224 MeV) is E=mc² in action.
