- as proton radiator at a recoil proton telescope (RPT) that are used for neutron flux measurements
- for determination of the cross section ratio of 235U(n,f) / H (n,n) reactions
octoconasol: C28H58O
polyethylene: C2H2
tristearin: C57H110O6
what for?
UNIVERSITY OF WARSAWUNIVERSITY OF WARSAW Heavy Ion LaboratoryHeavy Ion Laboratory
25th INTDS Conference, Vancouver, Canada 2010
what was required?
thickness range 0.05 – 0.5 mg/cm2 (0.58 – 5.8 µm)
homomogeneity
stability over long period (special concern: humidity)
and
for RPT well defined geometry so it should be on a ridged backing
for cross-section ratio micro homogeneity
vacuum evaporation
melting point: 68 – 73 ºC (but could be as low as 55 ºC)

depo quality strongly depends on the heat trasfer
q = k A dt/s
k -thermal conductivity coeff.
dt -temp. grandient across the material
A -area
s -thickness
q ≈ k/s
s Si = 2 mm k = 150 W/(m×K)
s Ta = 0.1 mm k = 57 W/(m×K)

thickness determination:- by quartz balance: needed acoustic impedance
value for tristearin estimated as 1.15 x105 g cm-2 s-1, based on weighing the known area (approach via values found for fat and paraffin)
- mass/area: samples prepared on 5 µm aluminium foil and on Ta 0.1 mm thick discs
- AFM and optical profilometry

Soft, low melting point deposits as tristearin should be prepared onbackings assuring good heat transfer as grain size, layer homogeneity is dependent on heat dissipation from backing.
Taking into account demand of ‘rigid’ geometry for proton telescopes may be thin Si wafer (instead of Ta) should be taken into consideration as backing as Si has much better heat conductivity.
Hydrogen content in the samples as for the moment is defined by weighing and molecular stoichiometry.
