Abstract
The development and study of the preparation of nuclear targets at IAE since 1979 are described. Targets of several elements and enriched isotopes have been made by reduction distillation in vacuum or by electroplating. Furthermore, methods such as rolling, centrifugal precipitation, electrospraying, and focused heavy-ion beam sputtering have been set up. An α-particle thickness gauge and a high sensitive quartz thickness gauge have been installed. Rutherford backscattering has been applied successfully to the determination of the thickness and the impurity content of target layers.
