Abstract
Method of electrodeposition on rotating disk cathode (RDE) is applied for p
reparation of Np, Pu and Am alpha-standards. Phenomenon of critical current
density is experimentally observed which is in perfect accord with Hansen'
s theory of electrodeposition. Influence of deposit calcination regime on q
uality of alpha-sources is studied, and comparison is made of uniformity of
deposits obtained in various deposition systems. Standards with energy res
olution better than 9 keV can be reproduceably obtained by optimized RDE el
ectrodeposition technique. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
