R. Gonzalezramirez et al., ELECTRODEPOSITION OF COBALT ON STAINLESS-STEEL FOILS - PREPARATION OFCO-57 SOURCES FOR MOSSBAUER EXPERIMENTS, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 174(2), 1993, pp. 291-298
Conditions for the electrodeposition of Co-59 and Co-57 on stainless s
teel foils have been studied. A set of electrolytic parameters has bee
n determined to get a reasonably good electrodeposited sample. The Co-
57 electrodeposited foil was then introduced in a quartz tube to be an
nealed in an argon flow. The final product was a 11 mu Ci Mossbauer so
urce for college experiments which was succesfully tested by obtaining
spectra of stainless steel and sodium nitroprusside.
