Solubility of the rare earth oxalates and complex ion formation in oxalate solution II. Neodynium and cerium (III)

Previous studies with ytterbium in oxalate solutions have demonstrated that the determination of concentrations by radioassay would permit the evaluation of equilibrium constants for the system. The present paper describes results of similar experiments with neodymium and cerium. Since the lighter rare earths have greater ionic radii, it was expected that the degree of complexing would be less and a lower solubility in oxalate would result. The data presented in this paper for neodymium and cerium confirmed the lower solubility but indicated that the complexes were not substantially weaker. The behavior of cerium was markedly different from that of ytterbium and neodymium in that definite evidence was found for the formation of a trioxalate complex

Spectrophotometric Studies of Dilute Aqueous Periodate Solutions

The solubility behavior of various sparingly soluble periodates was found to be anomalous as interpreted through the equilibrium constants for the dilute aqueous periodate system as reported in the literature. Thus it was necessary to investigate these equilibria as a possible reason for the anomaly. Reinterpretation of this solubility behavior in light of the results of this investigation will be reported at a later date

Applied gamma-ray spectrometry

Applied Gamma-Ray Spectrometry covers real life application of the gamma-ray and the devices used in their experimental studies. This book is organized into 9 chapters, and starts with discussions of the various decay processes, the possible interaction mechanisms of gamma radiation with matter, and the intrinsic and extrinsic variables, which affect the observed gamma-ray and X-ray spectra. The subsequent chapters deal with the properties and fabrication of scintillation detectors, semiconductor detectors, and proportional gas counters. These chapters present some of the most widely utilize
