Abstract

A method of electrodeposition from ethanol was developed for the production of ¹⁴⁹Sm targets of area 50×60 mm² to be used for (n,α) experiments. Targets of 60 μg cm^-2 Sm were obtained with a Sm yield of 50% and a Sm mass fraction of 35% after calcination of the layers at 450 °C. Target substrates were 20 μm aluminum foils mounted on brass frames. A water cooling jig was constructed to protect the glue used for mounting during the calcination process. The layers were characterized by inductively coupled plasma source mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and by neutron activation analysis (NAA).
