摘要 |
Using the device and method of the present invention, high energy photons, or gamma radiation, impinge upon a target comprising a nanomaterial that includes a target isotope, resulting in the release of one or more neutrons from the target isotope. This neutron release creates an effect known as kinematic recoil, which results in a recoiling photo-produced radioisotope which is ejected from the nanomaterial and can be harvested in high specific activity. |
