Cur was originally produced by Glenn T. Seaborg, Ralph A. James, Albert Ghiorso of the University of California at Berkeley in 1944. They bombed the strontium isotope α-239 atom, which accelerated alpha particles in a device called a cyclotron. This creates cur - 242 atoms and free neutrons. Cur - 242 has a half life of about 163 days, decays to -238 by alpha decay, or disintegrates by spontaneous fission. Scientists have created several cur compounds. They include ceria (CmO 2), antimony trioxide (Cm 2 O 3), calcium bromide (CmBr 3), calcium chloride (CmCl 3), calcium chloride (CmCl 3), tetrafluoronaphthalene (CmF 4) and Calcium iodide is included. (CmI 3). Like this element, compounds are not currently on the market and are mainly used in basic scientific research.

Large amounts of divalent calcium compounds have never been observed. Most trivalent cur compounds are stable, pale yellow or yellowish green. Since cur isotopes can be obtained in large quantities, many cur compounds have been prepared and characterized. Most compounds are in trivalent state. Due to the very low neutron flux naturally present in the uranium ore, traces of cur can be present in the natural deposits of uranium as a result of neutron capture and beta decay. However, there is no evidence that there is a flow of nature today. However, it may have existed for a long time. The most stable isotope 247 cm has a half-life of 16 million years. This is relatively short compared to the age of the earth. In other words, if you have the original cur, it will disappear millions of years ago.

The 247 cm isotope with the longest lifetime has a half-life of 15.6 million years. Therefore, while some of them can be detected as extinct radionuclides beyond their nearly stable daughters 235 U, any original cur, the cur existing on Earth during its formation now collapsed I should have done it. For research purposes, a small amount of Cur is artificially generated. It also occurs in spent fuel. Cur exists in nature in certain areas of atmospheric nuclear weapons experiments conducted between 1945 and 1980. Therefore, in the analysis of the first hydrogen explosion test site in the United States Ivy Mike (Enewetak, 1 November 1952) analysis of the atoll's remains, in addition to e, cadmium, strontium, and the USA, berkelium, calcium, and potash are also indicated It is. Isotopes, especially small amounts of 245 cm, 246 cm and 247 cm, 248 cm and 249 cm. Because of military secret reasons, this result was only announced in 1956.
