Abstract
Heavy ion activation of natural gadolinium foil with 80 MeV C-12(6+) result s in the formation of carrier-free ytterbium isotopes, (165.166.167)yb and their corresponding decay products, Tm-165,Tm-166.167, in the matrix. Carri er-free ytterbium and thulium isotopes have been separated quantitatively f rom the bulk target matrix gadolinium by employing di-(2-ethylhexyl)phospho ric acid (HDEHP) as a liquid cation exchanger.
