abstract

  • 7Li induced radioactivation was used for the trace determination of hydrogen via the1H(7Li, n)7 Be reaction. At 21 MeV7Li, only boron and magnesium present small nuclear interferences. An activation curve has been established by bombarding a stack of thin mylar foils. The comparison of this curve with the excitation function for the forward reaction, namely7Li(p, n)7 Be, shows that the recoil range from the superficial hydrogen atoms is only 1.7 mgcm-2, allowing post-irradiation etching. Hydrogen has been determined in titanium and lead bronze at the 100 ppm level with a relative precision of 6 to 10%. Studies of 32 potential interfering elements suggest the extension of Li activation to the trace determination of Na[23Na(7Li,6Li)24Na] and K[39K(7Li, d)44m,44Sc]. 1985 Akadmiai Kiad.
