Thorium silicate compound as a solid-state target for production of isomeric thorium-229 nuclei by electron beam irradiation

In this paper, we discuss an idea of the experiment for excitation of the isomeric transition in thorium-229 nuclei by irradiating with electron beam targets with necessary physical characteristics. The chemical composition and bandgap of ThSi10O22 were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy...
