Bismuth energies

For illustration, we show the bismuth energy levels and the transitions studied by the different groups in Figure 2. The Seattle experiment uses the Dj/2 line at 876 nm. All of the other experiments use the Ds/2 line at 648 nm, although more recently the Oxford group began a second experiment at the 876-nm line as well.

Let us consider first the low-energy fission of the lighter fissionable elements, in the neighborhood of Pb208. These elements (gold, thallium, lead, bismuth), when bombarded with particles such as 20-Mev deuterons, undergo symmetric fission, the distribution function of the products having a half width at half maximum of 8 to 15 mass-number units (20). 

These fissioning nuclei (such as 8tP°i2-211> formed by reaction of Bi209 and a deuteron) have a nearly spherical normal-state structure, resembling that of the doubly magic nucleus seP m208, with an outer core of 16 spherons and an inner core of 4 spherons, shown in Fig. 6. The nucleus is excited, with vibrational energy about 25 Mev (for bismuth bombard-...

Analytical electron microscopy permits structural and chemical analyses of catalyst areas nearly 1000 times smaller than those studied by conventional bulk analysis techniques. Quantitative x-ray analyses of bismuth molybdates are shown from lOnm diameter regions to better than 5% relative accuracy for the elements 61 and Mo. Digital x-ray images show qualitative 2-dimensional distributions of elements with a lateral spatial resolution of lOnm in supported Pd catalysts and ZSM-5 zeolites. Fine structure in CuLj 2 edges from electron energy loss spectroscopy indicate d>ether the copper is in the form of Cu metal or Cu oxide. These techniques should prove to be of great utility for the analysis of active phases, promoters, and poisons. 

A second type of neutralization occurs through a resonance process, in which an electron from the sample tunnels to the empty state of the ion, which should then be at about the same energy. Resonance neutralization becomes likely if the electron affinity of the ion is somewhat larger than the work function of the sample, or if the ion has an unfilled core level with approximately the same energy as an occupied level in the target atom. The latter takes place when He+ ions come near indium, lead or bismuth atoms. The inverse process can lead to reionization.
