Abstract
Alpha sources of several activities were prepared by electrodeposition of natural uranium onto four different backings: stainless steel, Ni, Mo and Ti. The influence of the activity, the type of backing, and th e process of heating the source on the energy resolution of the spectr e were investigated using alpha spectrometry and Rutherford Backscatte ring Spectrometry (RBS) techniques. Diffusion profiles of the radioact ive deposits in the backings were obtained from RES and related to the results using alpha spectrometry. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
