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