ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Method and apparatus for separating isotopes of an element in an atomic or molecular mixture. The isotropic recoil momenta resulting from selective excitation and ioni- zation of an atomic beam is used to mechanically separate a desired isotope from the beam. Similarly, the isotropic recoil momenta resulting from selective photon excitation and promotion of dissociative electron attachment of a molecular beam of uranium hexafluoride is used preparatory to mechanical separation. The isotropic recoil momenta resulting from multi-photon dissociation recoil in a molecu- lar beam of UF6 or SF6 is also used for separation. And, matrix formation of UF6 in HBr so as to collapse the .gamma.3 vibrational mode of the UF6 molecule is used in conjunction with selective isotopic excitation to promote reduction of UF6 molecules containing U235 and facilitate simplified separation.
