Sc radionuclide release from target materials used at ISOLDE.

Target Material Operated Temperature, °C Release Conditions
 natTi metallic foils >1600 W surface ion source. Fluorination with CF 4. Only Sc + and ScF + observed and target molten after mass separation [36].
 natTiC (1–50 μm) 1900 Slow release that did not increase by fluorination with CF 4 [28].
2300 No Sc released [31].
 natTiC-CNT (nanometric) 1500 No Sc released. [20].
 natTiC-CB (nanometric) 1500–1740 Re surface source. No Sc was released. [20].
 natV powder 1800 No Sc released [31].
 natVC (1–50 μm) 1900 Slow release that did not increase by fluorination with CF 4 [28].
2300 No Sc released. Higher other radionuclide release rates than from  natTiC [31].
