A method of determining the element concentrations in solids by using a two-wire ion source with surface ionization is described. The ionization temperature is approximately 2600 deg K. The element concentration is determined by comparing the integrated mass spectrogram of the unknown with the integrated spectrogram of a master sample. The relative ionization coefficients of barium, lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, praseodymium, samarium, and europium were determined. Concentrations of monoisotopic elements such as sodium, aiuminum, promethium, praseodymium, and terbium can be easily determined. (J.S.R.)
