The structure of carbon layers is strongly dependent on the interlayer applied on the glass substrate and determines as a consequence the structure of the target layer deposited on the carbon backing.
Standardly applied self-supporting foils are optimised for the major application. So at the GSI target laboratory carbon foils are perfected to withstand a highly intense heavy ion beam, either...

The uncertainty on the neutron cross sections strongly depends on the quality and characteristics of the deposited actinide films used as "targets" in the nuclear experiments. Until now, only the activity by alpha-particle counting, the isotopic composition by thermal ionisation mass spectrometry and the diameter of the actinide deposits were measured to determine the mass and areal density of...

Thin carbon-backed isotopically enriched 208Pb targets were required for our experiment aimed to study the reaction dynamics for 48Ti + 208Pb system, populating the near super-heavy nucleus 256Rf, through mass-energy correlation of the fission fragments. Purity and thickness of the targets are of utmost importance in such studies as these factors have strong influence on the measurement...
