DETERMINATION OF LITHIUM, BORON, AND CARBON BY QUASI-PROMPT CHARGED-PARTICLE ACTIVATION-ANALYSIS Academic Article

abstract

• A novel approach for rapid nondestructive trace analysis is presented, based on the detection of short-lived high energy emitters (10 msec t1/2 1 sec) produced by charged particle bombardment. Lithium, boron, and carbon are determined via 7Li(d, p)8Li, 11B(d, p)12B and 12C(p, n)12N, respectively. These elements have been measured at the 1- to 350-ppm level with a relative precision of 5 to 30% In glasses, semiconductor materials, botanical specimens, and metals. Experimental detection limits are 0.50 ppm for lithium, boron, and 50 ppm for carbon. 1975, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
