Abstract

This text describes the instrumental determination of some elements in silicate samples of ≃1 g by photon activation. The following elements can be determined: In acidic rocks: Mg, Ca, Ti, Mn, Sr, Zr and Nb, in ultramafic rocks: Mg, Cr, Ni, and Mn. The relative standard deviation is a few percent.
