Systematic study of thin barium/radium target production using electroplating method

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Ra to evaluate the efficiency of deposition. The impact of multiple chemical and physical parameters on the electroplating process onto different backing materials was investigated in terms of deposit quality and deposition efficiency. The homogeneity and morphology of the produced deposits were characterized by optical microscopy, SEM, profilometry and radioluminography. In an optimized electrodeposition process, stable and homogeneous deposits were obtained on Al substrates with a deposition efficiency of 69(3)%.
