COLUTRON Research   Return  
Charge materials data to top index

The following information is taken from Oak Ridge National Laboratory publication, ORNL-3301," PREPARATION OF CHARGE MATERIALS FOR ORNL ELECTROMAGNETIC ISOTOPE SEPARATORS " C. W. Sheridan, H. R. Gwinn, and L. O. Love, issued July 19, 1962, by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, then operated by Union Carbide Corporation for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.   Some of the information below is useful  in the preparation of charge materials for the Colutron ion sources.   The sole intent of its publication is to provide our customers with a database of possible charge materials and techniques to prepare charges for the Colutron ion source.   Numerous papers have been published in scientific journals since the 1960's using Colutron ion sources and should also be consulted concerning charge preparation techniques.   Colutron Research assumes no liability in the accuracy of this information or to damage to equipment or injury to personnel concerning the use of these materials.
note:  The ORNL isotope separators used Calutron beam sources.   Not to be confused with the Colutron ion source.
