Abstract

A nondestructive photon activation method using 300 MeV bremsstrahlung followed by high-resolution γ-ray spectrometry has been successfully applied to the determination of phosphorus in boron phosphides and phosphoric compounds. The materials used as standards in the method are bipotassium hydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, lithium phosphate, and phosporus powder. The sensitivity of the 24Na produced by the 31P(γ,4p3n) reaction was 0.0092 counts/s/μg P.
