I. Kelson et al., A MONOENERGETIC ELECTRON SOURCE GENERATED BY NUCLEAR STIMULATED DESORPTION, Journal of physics. D, Applied physics, 27(6), 1994, pp. 1087-1091
A series of measurements of nuclear stimulated desorption was performe
d for Ru-103, using thin ruthenium films irradiated by thermal neutron
s. The magnitude, time dependence and electric charge state of the out
going Rh-103m flux was investigated. The utilization of monoenergetic
electrons accompanying the Rh-103m decay for thin film thickness measu
rement is considered.
