An experimental study of the nuclear stopping mechanism has been carried out by performing high precision range and range straggling measurements of 96.5 keV 224Ra α-disintegration recoil particles in the following isotopic gases: H2/D2/T2,3He/4He, 14N2/15N2,16O2/18O2, and 20Ne/22Ne. Distinct range differences for light to heavy isotope mass ratios up to about 0.9 were determined. The results obtained establish clearly that the prediction of the isotope effect of the stopping medium, as derived from the Lindhard theory by using the power law potential as an approximation to the Thomas–Fermi potential, is to a good degree of accuracy, confirmed by experiment.

Following the diversified topic of this conference, let me present a variety of comments — not all new, but resulting from a long string of stars drifting across the desk. The chase after visual orbital elements is not exactly a self-purpose but is aiming at further data, in particular, at good masses. The last published lists of high-quality mass determination represent the status of 20 years ago; but a compilation at this time would probably not last long as the progress promises to quicken.We have 1000 positional (visual/photographic/speckle) orbits, among them about 700 acceptable in the range from fair to definitive. Yet less than 10% of them give good component masses. Most of them are outside the range of parallax measures with the requisite, high precision (that unfortunatly holds for the Hyades); some frustrate the parallax measurer by displaying wedge– and peanut–shaped images, and the more exciting cases of abnormal, non-main–sequence components often cannot get good mass ratios owing to large distances or long periods.

The relative difference (Δb/b) between the electromigration mobilities of 39K and 41K in molten KNO3 has been measured over the range 354° to 586°C. The mass effect, μ= (Δb/b)/(Δm/m), becomes larger when the temperature is increased, following the relation—,u =0.0385+0.000124 (t-337)where t is the temperature in °C. Due to thermal decomposition, the nitrate is partly converted to nitrite, but it is proved by performing experiments with different initial concentrations of nitrite, that the isotope effect for potassium is not influenced noticeably by the concentration of the anions.The experiment is designed to give an enrichment of the heavy isotope 41K in a small anode compartment and in the upper part of the separation tube. However, it was possible to establish that a slight, but significant, enrichment of the light isotope 39K was obtained in the lower part of the separation tube, i. e. just above the opening into the large cathode compartment. A separation factor of 1.003 was estimated for this enrichment effect, which is due to non-ideal conditions of the experiment.
