Abstract
A nondestructive photon activation method using 300 MeV bremsstrahlung foll owed by high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry has been successfully applie d to the determination of phosphorus in boron phosphides and phosphoric com pounds. The materials used as standards in the method are bipotassium hydro gen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, lithium phosphate, and phosp orus powder. The sensitivity of the Na-24 produced by the P-31(gamma,4p3n) reaction was 0.0092 counts/s/mu g P.
