History and Production
Named after Lise Meitner (1878-1968), a physicist and mathematician. It was first identified in 1992 by P. Armbruster and G. Münzenberg from Darmstadt, Germany, by bombarding 209Bi with energetic 58Fe. The production can be achieved only in atomistic quantities.
A week of bombardment may only produce a single atom of Element 109. In 1994, scientists at Dubna, Russia used a much higher irradiation dose and found the existence of 266Mt. The name meitnerium was adopted by IUPAC in 1997.
