Abstract

With the use of nuclear resonance fluorescence of 6.324-MeV photons from 15N, it is shown that in third-stage graphite-HNO3 residue compounds (characterized by a distance I3=13.25 AÌ), the intercalant molecules are in the form of nitrates and are oriented at theta0=13?(de±5?(de to the graphite planes. The procedure for preparing and characterizing thick residue samples using highly oriented pyrolytic graphite is discussed.
