A concept for the extraction of the most refractory elements at CERN-ISOLDE as carbonyl complex ions

We introduce a novel thick-target concept tailored to the extraction of refractory 4d and 5d transition metal radionuclides of molybdenum, technetium, ruthenium and tungsten for radioactive ion beam production. Despite the more than 60-year old history of ...
