Abstract

The chemical effects of cobalt neutron capture recoils produced in mixed crystals of the types K3Co/CN/6-K3Fe/CN/6 and K3Co/CN/6-K3Cr/CN/6 have been investigated. Analysis of the neutron irradiated samples was performed using solvent extraction and making use of a 512-channel analyzer for radioactivity measurements. It was found that the initial cobalt parent retentions vary linearly with parent mol fraction in the mixed crystals. The results are discussed in terms of retention and non-retention reactions in view of a mechanistic model involving metal-and ligand-vacancy exchanges, substitution and transfer reactions.
