ABSTRACT
In the present work, an in-house designed special crucible was developed to fabricate isotopically enriched 28Si targets for a γ-ray spectroscopy experiment. Initially, the crucible was tested with natural Si and then utilized to fabricate isotopically enriched 28Si targets of thickness â¼500 µg/cm2 (â¼2.15 µm). The fabricated targets were uniform in thickness and had very little contamination. In addition, one of the fabricated targets was successfully utilized in an in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy experiment. The technique employed in the present work not only facilitates the fabrication of stable and pure targets but also minimizes the wastage of the source material. As a result, these efforts pave the way for future fabrication of low-abundance isotopically enriched nuclear physics targets.
