Liquid Deposition of Salts for Bombardment Target Preparation
A target for heavy ion or electron bombardment is contemplated as is a method of its preparation. In that method, a) liquid target solution of a target metal salt dissolved in water is deposited into the bottom of a metal target capsule having an open top, and b) heated within the target capsule to form a crystalline material. Steps a) and b) are repeated until the crystalline material contains a target amount of target salt. The target capsule is then heated until the weight of the target capsule remains constant. To mitigate the formation of salt creep during the preparation, the liquid target solution can contain about 2 to about 20 percent v/v of a C2-C4 polyol, or the inside surface of the target capsule is coated with a hydrophobic film that provides a contact angle with water of about 70 to about 1300 prior to liquid deposition.

A novel cell for generating ozonated water, the cell comprises a nafion membrane separating a diamond coated anode, and a gold surfaced cathode enclosed within a cell housing with the catalyst side of the nafion membrane facing the cathode. The cell housing has a cathode housing portion and an anode housing portion separated by the membrane, each housing portion having ridges to enhance substantially even flow of fluid over the cathode and anode. The housing portions contain O-rings in grooves to prevent leaks, and alignment features to keep the electrodes aligned. The cathode and anode have an array of holes allowing fluid to penetrate to the surface of the niobium membrane. Input ports allow fluid to flow into the housing and over the anode and cathode and then out of the housing through outlet ports. The housing may also incorporate an integrated spectral photometer including a bubble trap.
