[Formula: see text]Ac is a radio-isotope that can be linked to biological vector molecules treat certain distributed cancers using targeted alpha therapy. However, developing text]Ac-labelled radiopharmaceuticals remains challenge due the supply shortage of pure itself. Several techniques obtain are being investigated, amongst which high-energy proton spallation thorium or uranium combined with resonant laser ionization and mass separation. As proof-of-principle, we perform off-line...

The global electronic properties of solid-state devices are strongly affected by the microscopic spatial paths charge carriers. Visualising these in novel produced scalable processes would provide a quality assessment method that can propel device performance metrics towards commercial use. Here, we use high-resolution nitrogen-vacancy (NV) magnetometry to visualise flow gold-contacted, single-layer graphene methods. Modulating majority carrier type via field effect reveals strong asymmetry...

This work presents the production cross-sections of Ce, Tb and Dy radionuclides produced by 300 MeV to 1.7 GeV proton-induced spallation reactions in thin tantalum targets as well related Thick Target Yield (TTY) values ratios. The motivation is optimise terbium for medical applications find out at which energy purity collection mass separation would be highest. For that purpose, activation experiments were performed using COSY synchrotron FZ Jülich utilising stacked-foils technique γ...
