In 1921, Irene Curie (1897-1956) began research at the Radium Institute. Five years later she married Frederic Joliot (1900-1958). a brilliant young physicist who was also an assistant at the Institute. In 1931, they began a research program in nuclear chemistry that led to several important discoveries and at least one near miss. The Joliot-Curies were the first to demonstrate induced radioactivity. They also discovered the positron, a particle that scientists had been seeking for many years. They narrowly missed finding another, more fundamental particle, the neutron. That honor went to James Chadwick in England. In 1935,...

M. and Mme. Joliot-Curie made further studies on the gamma-radiation of ionium, on chain reactions, and on neutrons and artificial radioactivity. The elements discovered with the aid of this new science will be discussed in Part 31. Mme. Joliot Curie died in Paris on March 17,1956 (136) after distinguished service to France. Frederic Joliot-Curie died in Paris on August 14,1958. 

This was initiated by the first description of the atom structure in 1913 by Ernest Rutherford, a British scientist and Niels Bohr, a Danish scientist. Then came the discovery of the neutron in 1932 by James Chadwick (a British student of Rutherford), the discovery of artificial radioactivity by Irene and Frederic Joliot Curie (Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1935) and finally the discovery of fission in 1938 by Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman (German scientists) which brought Hahn the Nobel Prize for physics in 1944.

The first artificial radionuclide, °P, was produced in 1934 by Frederic and Irene Joliot-Curie (daughter and son-in-law of Maria Sklodowska-Curie) by bombarding aluminium with protons in an accelerator [4]. Today, more than 2000 artificial radionuclides have been produced and identified, especially after the discovery and use of nuclear fission of uranium U and plutonium Pu.

Marie (Marya Sklodowska) Curie (1867-1934). Polish-born chemist and physicist. In 1903 she and her French husband, Pierre Curie, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on radioactivity. In 1911, she again received the Nobel prize, this time in chemistry, for her work on the radioactive elements radium and polonium. She is one of only three people to have received two Nobel prizes in science. Despite her great contribution to science, her nomination to the French Academy of Sciences in 1911 was rejected by one vote because she was a woman Her daughter Irene, and son-in-law Frederic Joliot-Curie, shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935.

Radioactive isotopes for tracer studies may be prepared artificially from nonradioactive elements by bombarding them with suitable nuclear particles produced in a cyclotron or a nuclear reactor. The discovery of this effect was made in 1934 by the French physicists Irene Joliot-Curie (1897-1956) and her husband Frederic Joliot-Curie (1900-1958). They were studying the effect of bombarding light elements such as aluminum with alpha (a) particles, which are beams of helium nuclei, fHe. They noticed that, after the bombardment had ceased, a new form of radiation continued to be emitted, and they concluded that a new isotope had been formed. In the case of the bombardment of ordinary aluminum, HAl, with a particles, the product is an isotopic form of phosphorus, ifP, the most abundant isotope of phosphorus being f P. The process is...

Hahnium and JoUotium, named after Otto Hahn and Jean-Frederic Joliot and Mme. Joliot-Curie, were suggested as names for Element 105. The lUPAC in August 1997 finally resolved the issue, naming Element 105 Dubnium with the symbol Db. Dubnium is thought to have prt rties similar to tantalum.

Irene Joliot-Curie (daughter of Pierre and Marie Curie) and her husband Frederic Joliot-Curie observed that when aluminum-27 is bombarded with alpha particles, neutrons and positrons (positive electrons) are emitted as part of the products. When the source of alpha particles is removed, neutrons cease to be produced, but positrons continue to be emitted. This observation suggested that the neutrons and positrons come from two separate reactions. It also indicated that a product of the first reaction is radioactive. After further investigation, they discovered that, when aluminum-27 is bombarded with alpha particles, phosphorus-30 and neutrons are produced. Phosphorus-30 is radioactive, has a half-life of 2.5 minutes, and decays to silicon-30 with the emission of a positron. The equations for these reactions are... 

The neutron was discovered in 1932 by the English physicist James Chadwick (1891-1974). It had been observed in 1930 by two German investigators, Bothe and Becker, that a very penetrating radiation is produced when beryllium metal is bombarded with alpha particles from radium. Bothe and Becker considered the radiation to consist of y-rays. Frederic Joliot and his wife Irene Joliot-Curie then discovered that this radiation from beryllium, when passed through a block of paraffin or...
