Abstract
A method is described for producing pyrolytic carbon with efficiencies suitable for use with highly enriched isotopes. Dense cylinders 14 cm long×1.4 cm in diameter have been produced with 97% efficiency by the pyrolysis of 13CH4. A process for converting 13CO into 13CH4 is also described briefly. Some applications for nuclear spectroscopy are discussed.Keywords
