Spectrometric study of condensed phase species of thorium and palladium-based modifiers in a complex matrix for electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry [PDF]
, 2007 The chemical and morphological transformations of condensed phase species of a thorium-based modifier were studied over the temperature range 200–2500 °C, without and with the presence of aluminium and silicon as matrix components, and in some instances,

Experimental studies of thorium ions implantation from pulse laser plasma into thin silicon oxide layers [PDF]
, 2017 We report the results of experimental studies related to implantation of thorium ions into thin silicon dioxide by pulsed plasma fluxes expansion. Thorium ions were generated by laser ablation from a metal target, and the ionic component of the laser ...

Landscape control of uranium and thorium in boreal streams – spatiotemporal variability and the role of wetlands [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 The concentrations of uranium and thorium in ten partly nested streams in the boreal forest region were monitored over a two-year period. The investigated catchments ranged from small headwaters (0.1 km<sup>2</sup>) up to a fourth-order ...
