Abstract: In a rotary magnetic head according to the present invention, a rotor core provided with head cores for a pair of magnetic heads and a rotary side core of a rotary transformer is formed by joining a pair of rotor core halves formed of a starting material of one type of magnetic material or of the composite configuration formed by joining in advance different magnetic materials through a joining layer of predetermined length between the joining end faces thereof. The cores of the respective magnetic heads are provided at both ends of the joining end faces, and the central axis of the rotation of the rotor core is so defined equidistantly from both the magnetic heads and to pass the center of the length of the joining layer.

Abstract: A process for separation of uranium isotopes by chromatography through an anion exchange material is found to be improved in efficiency of separation as well as in productivity by addition of a catalyst for accelerating electron exchange reactions occurring in the system under conditions to retain uranyl ions on the anion exchange material preferentially over uranous ions.

Abstract: A novel catalyst for isotope exchange reaction between uranium(IV) and uranium(VI) compounds enables acceleration of the reaction rate as much as 3000 times to make industrial separation of uranium isotopes economically possible.
