Sucrose-based sol-gel synthesis of microporous titanium carbide as target material for the production of radioisotopes

2021, Journal of the European Ceramic SocietyCitation Excerpt :Ta-based target materials are proposed for the production of 149Tb (half-life T1/2 = 4.118 h) for combined PET (Positron Emission Tomography)/α-therapy in cancer radio-theranostics [9,10], along with other longer-lived terbium (Tb) isotopes, i.e., 152Tb (T1/2 = 17.5 h), 155Tb (T1/2 = 5.32 d) and 156Tb (T1/2 = 5.35 d) for PET, computed tomography, and SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) [2]. While refractory carbides have already been introduced in the ISOL community for actinide-based targets, such as ThCx and UCx [7,8,11,12], and recently for lighter targets, such as nanometric TiC [13] and SiC [14,15], Ta-based targets have so far only been used in the form of metallic Ta thin foils (melting point ≈ 3016 °C). Therefore, the introduction of TaCx (melting point ≈ 3880 °C, for x = 1) as target material is being investigated in order to increase the refractoriness and the operational time of the target under intense primary beams.

2018, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and AtomsCitation Excerpt :The use of refractory compound obtained by powder metallurgy provides fission fragments with a minimum diffusion path in the solid [2]. The UCx targets are in the form of sintered pellets composed of microscopic uranium carbide grains mixed with graphite [3]. Since the 1960s, the target synthesis control is one of the key points that allows a high production of radioactive nuclei and improve their release.
