Abstract
About 70 kinds of fem samples have been analyzed by means of neutron a ctivation analysis in order to deduce characteristics and mechanisms o f accumulation of rare earth elements. Accumulator species for scandiu m and lanthanides have been newly found based on the analysis. Correla tions among barium, hafnium, and lanthanides indicate that the fems ac cumulating barium and hafnium also showed high concentrations of lanth anides. Remarkable accumulation of lanthanides in diversifying genera suggests that lanthanides contribute to making those species diverse.
