TARGET PREPARATION BY ATOMIZING HYDROLYZED SOLUTION OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL FOR PIXE ANALYSIS
Abstract
A new apparatus is made to prepare a uniform and thin target for PIXE analysis by atomizing sample solution hydrolyzed with nitric acid at 105ºC for 2 hrs. When concentration of NIST Bovine Liver (SRM 1577b) is determined, values of almost all elements heavier than Na, except for Cl and Br, which are volatile under acidic condition, are roughly same as those certified by NIST.
