Some methods in the preparation of radio-active materials for use in beta-spectroscopy
Abstract
The initial results of an investigation dealing with the most appropriate methods for the preparation of radioactive materials for use in beta-spectroscopy are reported. A short review of the methods and techniques developed for this type of preparation is presented, and where, possible, improvements are suggested. The investigation has been carried out in four main parts, namely, thin film preparation and thickness determination, electro- and vacuum deposition, and miscellaneous techniques, and is reported in the same order. In conclusion, tables designating the deposition efficiencies obtained from the preparation of 45 different radio-active materials by employement of the various methods are given.
