Over the past century many enriched isotopes have become available, thanks largely to electromagnetic separators called calutrons. Due to substantial maintenance and operating costs, the United States decommissioned the last of its calutrons in 1998, leading to demand for alternative methods of isotope separation. The work presented here suggests the promise for MAGIS as a viable alternative to the calutrons.The MAGIS technique combines optical pumping with a scalable magnetic field gradient to enrich atoms of a specific isotope in an atomic beam. Benchmarking this work against the calutron using lithium as a test case, the author demonstrated comparable enrichment in a manner that should scale to the production of similar quantities, while requiring vastly less energy input. 000752548 650_0 $$aPhysics. 000752548 650_0 $$aAtoms. 000752548 650_0 $$aMatter. 000752548 650_0 $$aMedical physics. 000752548 650_0 $$aRadiation. 000752548 650_0 $$aSpectrum analysis. 000752548 650_0 $$aMicroscopy. 000752548 650_0 $$aNuclear engineering. 000752548 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319239546$$z9783319239545$$w(OCoLC)918594248 000752548 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000752548 852__ $$bebk 000752548 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-23956-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000752548 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:752548$$pGLOBAL_SET 000752548 980__ $$aEBOOK 000752548 980__ $$aBIB 000752548 982__ $$aEbook 000752548 983__ $$aOnline 000752548 994__ $$a92$$bISE
