Abstract

Although many quantitative methods for isotopic analysis are used, emission molecular band spectra <i>per se</i> apparently have not been used. The method described here was used successfully to determine the relative amounts of ¹⁰B and ¹¹B and should be applicable to other simple molecular band spectra, such as diatomic molecules in which the isotopic concentration of one of the atomic elements is fixed.
