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

João Pedro Fernandes Pinto Ramos

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 ...

High-Temperature Water Effects on the Fracture Behaviour of Low-Alloy Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels

Zaiqing Que

The structural integrity of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) of light water reactors (LWR) is of utmost importance regarding operation safety and lifetime. High-temperature water (HTW) and hydrogen absorbed from environment, in synergy with irradiation em ...

Development of a processing route for carbon allotrope-based TiC porous nanocomposites

Paul Bowen

Ti-foils are currently used as a spallation target material to produce radioisotopes for physics research at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. However, radioisotope production rates often decrease over time due to material degradation from high operation temper ...

Silver versus white sheet as a back reflector for microcrystalline silicon solar cells deposited on LPCVD-ZnO electrodes of various textures

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Etienne Antoine Julien Moulin

We compare the performance of two back reflector designs on the optoelectrical properties of microcrystalline silicon solar cells. The first one consists of a 5-mu m-thick low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD)-ZnO electrode combined with a white s ...

Experimental tests of an advanced proton-to-neutron converter at ISOLDE-CERN

The suppression of isobaric contaminations is of growing importance for many scientific programs using radioactive isotopes produced at isotope separation on-line (ISOL) facilities, such as ISOLDE-CERN. A solid tungsten proton-to-neutron converter has been ...

Submicro- and Nano-Structured Porous Materials for Production of High-Intensity Exotic Radioactive Ion Beams

Sandrina Fernandes

ISOLDE, the CERN Isotope Separator On-line DEvice is a unique source of low energy beams of radioactive isotopes - atomic nuclei that have too many or too few neutrons to be stable. The facility is like a small 'chemical factory', giving the possibility of ...
