| Summary: | The discovery of the neutron by Chadwick in 1932 (27), and the production of artificial radioactivity two years later by Curie and Joliot (33) made possible the investigation of a completely new field. Fermi investigated the possibility of producing artificial radioactivity by neutrons, and he soon announced (49) that the bombardment of aluminum and fluorine by neutrons induces such radioactivity. Within a short time, Fermi et al. (51) succeeded in inducing artificial radioactivity in a large number of elements by neutron irradiation. |
