Material engineering to fabricate rare earth erbium thin films for exploring nuclear energy sources

High null vacuum evaporation null and cold-rolling techniques to fabricate thin films of the rare earth lanthanide-erbium have been discussed in this communication. Cold rolling has been used for the first time to successfully fabricate films of enriched and highly expensive null null erbium null metal with areal density in the range of 0.5–1.0 mg/cm 2 . The fabricated films were used as target materials in an advanced nuclear physics...
