Abstract

Analysis schemes for eleven rare earths (Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) taken singly in Y-Fe garnet powders are presented. Straight-line calibrations result in all cases, usually over a range from below 0.5 wt.% to better than 6 wt.%. Errors were held to ±5-10% even using extraordinarily simple sample preparation techniques. Data are presented relating to the effects of particle size and sample preparation on precision and accuracy of the resulting analysis.
