Analysis of Inorganic Constituents in Dental Calculus by Means of Neutron Activation and Gamma-Ray Spectrometry

“…During the last few years, biologists have become interested in this method because it possesses extensive possibilities for studies of the inorganic constituents of biological materials. 6 The basis of radioactivation analysis is that the sample to be determined is subjected to irradiation by uncharged or charged particles. At present, neutrons are by far most frequently used.…”

Activation analysis with thermal and fission neutrons

“…The area of activation analysis and its usefulness in analytical chemistry has grown rapidly. Numerous review articles and bibliographies concerning the widespread applications of activation analysis have been published (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31).…”

Neutron activation analysis of the sodium tungsten bronzes

“…This can be attributed in part to the availability of nuclear reactors and the appearance of the portable, linear accelerator, and to the establishment and refinement of the techniques of gamma-ray scintillation spectros copy. Several excellent reviews of activation analysis (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) have ap peared in the literature as well as two thorough series of bibliographie s (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Although the emphasis in neutron activation analysis has been on trace analysis (< 0.…”
