Preparation and analysis of a {sup 109}Cd gamma source implanted into a silver single crystal

Journal Article · · Measurement Techniques
Preparation of {sup 109}Cd gamma sources implanted by thermal diffusion into a single crystal of silver is described. The source is intended for experiments on Moessbauer excitation of the long-lived isomeric state of {sup 109}Ag with 88 keV energy. Two nondestructive methods are described for finding the depth of the implanted {sup 109}Cd atoms. One is a general-purpose method and can be used to study the diffusion of a wide class of radioactive atoms. The second method is useful only for the investigation of boundary distributions of the radioactive diffusant.
