Theory of regular solutions was applied for the determination of solubility parameters (δ) of cobalt oxinate and indium oxinate which were found to be 34.45 J1/2cm-3/2 and 34.03 J1/2 cm-3/2, respectively. Besides, distribution of each of the two complexes was studied in the mixtures of two solvents, assigned as good and poor solvents, in accordance with their individual behaviors. In both of the two cases, experimentally determined values of distribution-coefficient differed from those of calculated values which shows the importance of solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interaction in the present system.","PeriodicalId":21029,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta Radiochimica Acta","volume":"86 1","pages":"759 - 762"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91337558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of different parameters, such as pH and the sorbent concentration, on extraction efficiency were investigated. The phase morphology, nanostructure and size of nano-particles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical and radionuclidic purity of 109Cd was determined by ICP-AES and HPGe detector gamma-ray spectrometry, respectively.","PeriodicalId":21029,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta Radiochimica Acta","volume":"105 1","pages":"733 - 738"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89591942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its production in no-carrier-added form is done via charged particle induced reactions, and considerable amount of cross section data are available in the literature. We evaluated seven reactions, namely 64Ni(p, n) 64Cu, 64Ni(d, 2n) 64Cu, 68Zn(p, αn) 64Cu, 66Zn(p, 2n) 64Cu, 64Zn(d, 2p) 64Cu, 66Zn(p, α) 64Cu and natZn(d, x) 64Cu. Data analysis was generally limited up to about 25 MeV and the consistency check of experimental data was carried out using the nuclear model codes STAPRE, EMPIRE and TALYS. In a few cases experimental data were available up to 100 MeV; the consistency check in the high energy region was done only using the code TALYS. A statistical procedure (supported by nuclear model calculations) was then used to fit the data. The derived recommended sets of data, together with 95% confidence limits, are reported. The integral yields calculated from those data are also given. A critical comparison of the various production routes of 64Cu is presented. The 64Ni(p, n) 64Cu reaction, utilizing a highly enriched target, is the method of choice.","PeriodicalId":21029,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta Radiochimica Acta","volume":"93 1","pages":"669 - 686"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82397766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples were excited by γ photons with energy 59.5 keV from a 50 mCi 241Am radioisotope source. The emitted K X-rays were detected by an Ultra-LEGe having a resolution of 150 eV at 5.9 keV. For comparison with experimental results, theoretical calculations have been made using radiative and nonradiative transition rates. The measured results are in good agreement with theoretically calculated values within experimental errors. FexZn1-x thin film alloys were electrochemically deposited on aluminum substrates from sulfate bath. In conclusion, it was found that the vacancy transfer probabilities changed in FexZn1-x thin films for different compositions of x.","PeriodicalId":21029,"journal":{"name":"Radiochimica Acta Radiochimica Acta","volume":"32 1","pages":"695 - 699"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85807101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
