Preparation of the thicker americium targets by molecular plating.
Electrodeposition of americium from the mixture of isopropyl alcohol and dilute nitric acid was studied. The 241,243Am targets with thickness between 600 microg/cm2 and 1.2 mg/cm2 had been prepared on thin aluminum foil (7 microm) by molecular plating at one time.
