“…However, arsenic is resistant to many common thin target fabrication techniques, as has been intensively explored in the semiconductor industry [2,3]. Arsenic sublimes on heating and cannot be casted, nor can it be subjected to cold/hot rolling due to its brittle nature and propensity for significant cracking [4][5][6]. Arsenic toxicity further hinders work with bulk quantities as it is very difficult to remediate contamination.…”

“…Instead, the few prior arsenic-based charged-particle nuclear data investigations have required individualized local target fabrication methods [4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Many of these methods detailed in the literature involve arsenic compounds or metallic powder suspensions in solutions, still generally unsuitable for stacked-target experiments.…”

Thin uniform arsenic targets suitable for high-fidelity cross section measurements in stacked-target experiments were prepared by electrodeposition of arsenic on titanium backings from aqueous solutions. Electrolytic cells were constructed and capable of arsenic deposits ranging in mass from approximately 1 to 29 mg (0.32-7.22 mg/cm 2 , 0.57-12.62 µm). Examination of electrodeposit surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis was performed to investigate the uniformity of produced targets. Brief studies of plating growth dynamics and structural properties through cyclic voltammetry were also undertaken. An alternative target fabrication approach by vapor deposition was additionally conducted. We further introduce a non-destructive characterization method for thin targets by neutron activation, which is independent of neutron flux shape, environmental factors, and source geometry, while correcting for any potential scatter or absorption effects.
