Hopefully you will examine boric acid on AL with D2O using HV AC.    
There are very good and specific reasons for doing this, in addition  
to those mentioned. Using a magnetic gradient or laser spot on the AL  
surface would have good rationale as well.

Yes, I know.  So, where's the iron coming from?
