Here are the titles, abstracts and so on that I just added to my database: Reference Type: Report Author: Bihl, V., Reifenschweiler, O. and Ligt, van de Year: 1965 Title: Experimente Zur Darstellung Von Temperaturfesten Metall-Tritium Systemen Institution: Philips Corporation Publisher: Library, Repository hosted by TU Delft Keywords: titanium, tritium, reduced radioactivity Abstract: This paper is in German. The Summary is in English:
The following experiments deal with the preparation of titanium-tritium and zirkonium-tritium systems, which are stable against heating. It could be shown that such systems suitable as priming agent in gas discharge tubes can be prepared by heating the fine dispersed metals in a tritium atmosphere.

The Summary is in English: The investigations by van de Vate, Reifenschweiler and van de Ligt into the temperature-resistant properties of finely dispersed metal-tritium systems have been supplemented by experiments on titanium-oxygen-tritium systems, mainly intended for the purposes of orientation. In these experiments both the tritium and the oxygen pressure were varied and the influence of these variations on the composition of the temperature-resistant residue was ascertained. A further experiment was carried out with neodynium powder. Reference Type: Report Author: van de Vate, J. F., Reifenschweiler, O. and Ligt, van de Year: 1960 Title: Onderzoekingen Naar De Temperatuurvastheid Van Fijnverdeelde Metaal-Tritium-Systemen In Vacuum Institution: Philips Corporation Publisher: Library, Repository hosted by TU Delft Keywords: titanium, tritium, reduced radioactivity Abstract: This paper is in Dutch. The Summary is in English: The temperature stability of finely dispersed metaltritium systems in vacuum was investigated. The tritium content of the metals was measured by a new method based on the radio-activity of the tritium. Ways were found to prepare metal-tritium systems, sufficiently temperature-stable for technical applications. In addition, the experiments were found to be of interest in checking various classical and modern theories on the formation of hydrides. Reference Type: Report Author: van de Vate, J. F., Reifenschweiler, O. and Ligt, van de Year: 1960 Title: The Internal And External Bremsstrahlung Associated With, Beta-Decay In Tritium Institution: Philips Corporation Publisher: Library, Repository hosted by TU Delft Keywords: titanium, tritium, reduced radioactivity Abstract: By "Bremsstrahlung" is meant the continuous quantum radiation arising when electrons undergo braking in the fields of atomic nuclei. Discovered by Rontgen as long ago as 1895, this type of radiation occurs when the beta-electrons from a disintegrating beta-emitter are braked in the surrounding matter, being termed "external bremsstrahlung" in this case. But in such isotopes the beta-electron is also accompanied by a type of radiation that is independent of the surrounding matter. This type is called "internal bremsstrahlung", because it is generated by the electron inside the radioactive atom, during the decay process. It was first demonstrated by Aston 1) in the "twenties" when, in the course of gamma-ray measurements on RaE, he detected a soft, inhomogeneous form of gamma-radiation.

Year: 1961 Title: Some Investigations into the Bremsstrahlung of Tritium Institution: Philips Corporation Publisher: Library, Repository hosted by TU Delft Keywords: titanium, tritium, reduced radioactivity Abstract: The internal and external bremsstrahlung of tritium have been investigated by a new method, using titanium-tritium films. A great discrepancy was found between the experimental results and the theory. The experimental values of the ratio I-EBS were between four and thirty times lower than the ratio I-IBS predicted by theory. This discrepancy may be due either to the generation of characteristic x-radiation in the experimental arrangement used or to the fact that the theory is not applicable to tritium on account of its extremely low atomic number and beta-ray energy. The wide scatter in the experimental results may likewise be due to the generation of characteristic x-radiation.
