Nano-plasmas generated by intense radiation encompass elements of both high energy density physics and nanoscale science, which leads to the many interesting and unusual physical effects.[1] Interactions of short-pulse, high-intensity relativistic lasers with nanometer-scale targets are actively studied to generate high-energy ions, extreme UV, and coherent radiation. This Colloquium paper...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has been involved for many years in the production of actinide targets for numerous applications, such as the continued study and discovery of super-heavy elements (SHE). Researchers at the ORNL Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC) are currently producing targets with Cf material enriched in Cf-251. The targets will be irradiated with a Ca-48...

Targets for nuclear chemistry experiments such as neutron-induced capture and fission require thin, uniform, and adherent deposits. Thin metal foils are often used as substrates and electrodeposition has been used to prepare actinide, lanthanide and transition metal deposits on these substrates. However, deposits on thin non-metallic substrates such as carbon foils or plastic films are desired...

Since the 1960s, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Isotope Program, through the Stable Isotope Group at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has been developing and supplying enriched stable isotope targets for nuclear, medical, academic, and industrial research around the world. This Group maintains the DOE inventory of enriched stable isotopes, provides customer quotations, and...
