We tested the purity of thulium samples by XRF and NAA techniques.
Developed a procedure to generate Tm-170 isotope out of thulium oxide powder.
Designed a collimator and source holder
Generated XRF spectrum of mercury using the Tm-170 isotope.
Compared the highlights in mercury spectra from Tm-170 and Cd-109 isotopes.
