196 Hg/ 202 Hg ratio and Hg content in meteorites and terrestrial standard rocks: a RNAA study
Radiochemical neutron activation was applied for the determination of mercury isotopic ratios ( 196 Hg/ 202 Hg) for standard rock samples and meteorite samples. After neutron activation, Hg was released upon heating from 100°C to 500°C at 100°C steps and the activity ratio of 197 Hg/ 203 Hg was meas...

Radiochemical neutron activation was applied for the determination of mercury isotopic ratios ( 196 Hg/ 202 Hg) for standard rock samples and meteorite samples.
