Synopsis

This book provides an overview of the activities performed within the Spectrochemical Analysis Section at the National Bureau of Standards from 1964 to 1965. Founded in 1948, the Spectrochemical Section pioneered an extensive program to study and apply spectrochemical analyses, with an emphasis on the determination and measurement of uranium and related materials. Chemical components are uniquely identified by the characteristic frequency of their emitted spectra, allowing for the determination of amounts present through the analysis of radiation intensity. The author notes the growing importance of instrumental analysis and the section's expansion into x-ray spectrometry to complement optical emission spectrometry. Additional research and application of electron probe microanalysis was also initiated. The book details the development of standard reference materials, analysis of materials to assist other research projects, literature surveys, and staff activities.
