The Identification and Determination of Trace Amounts of Rare Earth Elements in Graphite by Neutron Activation (open access)

The Identification and Determination of Trace Amounts of Rare Earth Elements in Graphite by Neutron Activation

Abstract: "A method is described for the identification and quantitative determination of trace amounts of rare earths in graphite by measurement of the energies and decays of the activities induced by neutron irradiation. The specific rare earth elements identified are europium and samarium. During the development of this method, the half-lives of Eu-152 and Sm-153 were determined. These are reported as 9.32 +/- 0.04 hours and 46.34 +/- 0.23 respectively."
