In the CM-chitosan solutions that contained 0.02mol/L H2O2 (condition c) or 2.5 x 10" mol/L N2O (condition b), were 280% and 150% of that in condition a (Nj-saturated). In condition d, because 0.76 mol/L isopropanol was added into the CM-chitosan solution, G decreased to 5% of that in condition a. Similar to the degradation mechanism of chitosan in aqueous solution, the radiation energy of y-ray is absorbed mainly by water in dilute CM-chitosan aqueous solutions, and the direct effect of radiation on CM-chitosan can be neglected. The radiation chemical yield of reactive species released in the radiolysis of water are constant in the wide range of pH. In condition a, CM-chitosan aqueous solution was radiated with saturated N2. The active species that resulted in... 

The relation between recoil energy and hot atom reaction yield is a question of fundamental importance in a solid system, but no answer had been given until Yoshihara and Kudo (1970) proposed use of (y,y) reaction in an indium complex in 1970. Controlling energy of y-rays from a linear electron accelerator, a separable yield of from a bulk of irradiated In-EDTA...

The energy of y-rays according to the Lambert-Beer law, the attenuation is an exponential function of the linear attenuation coefficient and the thickness of the material between the source and the detector. 

As a now well-established technique, activation analysis benefits from the many compilations of data and methods produced in recent years. The compilation of precise energies of y-rays emitted by neutron-activated isotopes published by Adams and Dams is now incorporated, with the existing standard exposition of y-ray spectrometry, into the revised work of Croutha-mel et al. Another most useful addition is the presentation of many Ge(Li) spectra of common radioisotopes. A more-complete table of y-transition... 

The half-hves, y-ray energies, and y-ray emission probabiUties given ia Table 15 are what is needed if the amount of a radioisotope present ia a sample is to be measured. However, there are other uses of radionucHdes where additional data concerning the decay are needed. If a radionucHde is to be iajected or implanted in vivo it is necessary to have data on all of the radiations produced to be able to assess the impact on the ceU stmcture. Table 16 gives samples of the data that can be useful ia this latter case. Such information can be obtained from some of the references above. There are also computer codes that can use the decay data from the ENSDF database to produce this type of information for any radionucHde, eg, RAD LIST (21). 

All radioactive isotopes decay with a characteristic half-life. For example, Fe decays with a half-life of 45 days, while Cu decays with a half-life of 12.6 hours. As a result of the decay, signature high-energy photons or y rays are emitted from a given radioisotope. Thus, Fe emits two prominent y rays at 1099 and 1292 keV, " Na emits at 1368 and 2754 keV, and Zn emits at 1115 keV. Compilations of y rays used in NAA can be found in y-ray tables. 

C22-0091. A positron has the same mass as an electron. When a positron and an electron annihilate, both masses are converted entirely into the energy of a pair of y rays. Calculate the energy per y ray and the energy of I mol of y rays.

The emission spectmm of Co, as recorded with an ideal detector with energy-independent efficiency and constant resolution (line width), is shown in Fig. 3.6b. In addition to the expected three y-lines of Fe at 14.4, 122, and 136 keV, there is also a strong X-ray line at 6.4 keV. This is due to an after-effect of K-capture, arising from electron-hole recombination in the K-shell of the atom. The spontaneous transition of an L-electron filling up the hole in the K-shell yields Fe-X X-radiation. However, in a practical Mossbauer experiment, this and other soft X-rays rarely reach the y-detector because of the strong mass absorption in the Mossbauer sample. On the other hand, the sample itself may also emit substantial X-ray fluorescence (XRF) radiation, resulting from photo absorption of y-rays (not shown here). Another X-ray line is expected to appear in the y-spectrum due to XRF of the carrier material of the source. For rhodium metal, which is commonly used as the source matrix for Co, the corresponding line is found at 22 keV. 

Kaindl et al. [186] have plotted the isomer shift results for metallic hosts versus the number of outer electrons of the 3d, Ad, and 5d metals and found the transition energy to decrease when proceeding from a to a Ad and further to a 3d host metal in the same column of the periodic table. This systematic behavior is similar to that observed for isomer shifts of y-rays of Fe(14.4 keV) [193], Ru(90 keV), Pm (77 keV), and lr(73 keV) [194]. The changes of A(r ) = (r )e — (r )g for these Mossbauer isotopes are all reasonably well established. Kaindl et al. [186] have used these numbers to estimate, with certain assumptions, the A(r ) value for Ta (6.2 keV) and found a mean value of A(r ) = —5 10 fin with some 50% as an upper limit of error. The negative sign of A(r ) is in agreement with the observed variation of the isomer shift of LiTaOs, NaTaOs, and KTaOs, as well as with the isomer shift found for TaC [186].
