Title: THE RELATIVE ABUNDANCES AND PILE NEUTRON CAPTURE CROSS SECTIONS OF THE ISOTOPES OF SAMARIUM, GADOLINIUM, DYSPROSIUM AND YTTERBIUM
Authors: WALKER, WILLIAM HERBERT
Advisor: Thode, H.G.
Department: Philosophy
Publication Date: May-1956
Abstract: A double-focusing mass spectrometer has been used to determine the relative abundances of the isotopes of naturally- occurring platinum, samarium, gadolinium, dysprosium and ytterbium. The relative abundances of a portion of the four rare earth elements were also measured after bombardment in a high neutron flux for a period of six months. From a comparison of the results for the irradiated and unirradiated samples the neutron absorption cross sections of the individual isotopes have been calculated.
