A method is reported for measuring the thickness and uniformity of thin films of solidified gas targets. The energy of alpha particles traversing the film is measured and the energy loss is converted to thickness using the stopping power.…

This work aims to identify common challenges in the preparation of the blister test devices designed for measurement of energy release rate for brittle thin films and to propose easy-to-implement solutions accordingly. To this end, we…

Resistive heating and mechanical rolling methods have been employed to prepare isotopically enriched thin target foils of 116Sn (~380 \mu g/cm2), 124Sn(~400 \mu g/cm2) and thicker foils of 112Sn (1.7 mg/cm2),120Sn (1.6 mg/cm2),respectively.…

We report a novel method for depositing patterned dielectric layers with sub-micron features using atomic layer deposition (ALD). The patterned films are superior to sputtered or evaporated films in continuity, smoothness, conformality, and…

High quality ZnO thin films were gown using the pulsed laser deposition technique on (0001) Al$_2$O$_3$ substrates in an oxidizing atmosphere, using a Zn metallic target. We varied the growth conditions such as the deposition temperature…

Thick target deuteron breakup is a variable-energy accelerator-based source of high-energy neutrons, with applications in fundamental and applied nuclear science and engineering. However, the breakup mechanism remains poorly understood, and…

Polarized targets evolved into indispensable tools in particle and nuclear physics. However, the polarized solid target is degraded by high-intense beam irradiation, known as radiation damage due to target heating and radical generation. We…

We study the effect of deuteration and annealing on the fluorescence spectrum shape and VUV to visible conversion efficiency of TPB films in a polystyrene matrix with input light from 120 to 220 nm. We observed no discernible difference in…

A frozen spin polarized deuteron target cooled by the 3He/4He dilution refrigerator is described. Fully deuterated 1,2-propanediol was used as a target material. Deuteron vector polarization about 40% was obtained for the target in the…

Recent publications have described a method for stand-off optical detection of explosives using resonant infra-red photothermal imaging. This technique uses tuned lasers to selectively heat small particles of explosive lying on a substrate…
