Abstract

The application of electrodeless discharge lamps in obtaining the information necessary for the analysis of the first and second spectra of lanthanide and actinide elements is discussed. It is shown how differentiation of neutral atom and first ion lines, self-reversal, and Zeeman-effect observations may be procured using these lamps as the sole source. The procedures are illustrated by studies on Cm, Gd, and Dy.
