Abstract
The radiations of neutron-activated rhodium are studied with 180° constant field conversion electron spectrometers and a gamma-ray scintillation spectrometer. Internal conversion electrons are observed to be associated with the 4.3-minute activity. These are interpreted as arising from two isomeric transitions of 51.1±0.2 and 77.2±0.2 kev in rhodium. By coincidence studies these two transitions are shown to be in cascade. The character of the radiations, as determined from the ratios and lifetime considerations, appears to be and , respectively. Additional gamma-rays of energy 550±10 kev and ∼1.2 Mev (weak) are observed with the scintillation spectrometer. The 550-kev transition is associated with both the 44-second and the 4.3-minute periods and is assumed to follow the beta-decay and hence be in .
