OSTI ID:4323834
An apparatus used in the investigation of the dffusion of Fe/sup 59/ in the lattices of magnetite, corundum, and rutile is described. It consists of a specially shaped molybdenum glass flask with a tungsten evaporator inside a glass cylinder at the lower spherical part of which is placed the oxide sample with the deposited radioactive metal layer. The iron is deposited on a tungsten filamen from a concentrated solution of ferric chloride. The cathode is a loop 4 mm in diameter made of 0.5 mm wire. The method of radioactive layer deposition may be applied for the diffusion analysis of any solid and gives good and consistent results. (J.S.R.)
