摘要
Nuclear resonance fluorescence excited with continuous electron bremsstrahlung from the 4.3 MV Stuttgart Dynamitron accelerator is used as a nondestructive method to determine the C-13 Content x of bulk isotopic diamonds ((C1-xCx)-C-12-C-13). The smallest detectable amount of C-13 in carbon or low Z matrices is on the order of 0.5 mg. The relative accuracy of absolute mass determinations is about +/-7%. Errors are mainly due to uncertainties in the natural widths Gamma of the C-13 nuclear levels at 3089 and 3684 keV used in the measurements. The results confirm a previous calibration which is based on Raman scattering and the destructive determination of x by mass spectroscopy. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
