Targets from RC Tritec AG

Tritium gas can be bound to titanium in a relatively stable form as solid TiT₂ (titanium tritide). The tritium is only released as T₂ at high temperatures. The titanium tritide we produce is therefore safe to use.

Titanium tritide targets are used in neutron tubes and as tritium beta emission sources.

RC Tritec AG offers you the impregnation of your titanium layers with tritium. On request, we can also arrange the direct sputtering of titanium onto a suitable carrier material such as copper or molybdenum.

In a high vacuum, pure tritium, or deuterium if required, is incorporated into the existing titanium layers at high temperatures. In this process, a loading with a³ H to Ti ratio of 1.6 to 1.7 (TiT_1.6) is usually achieved.
