Abstract
Conditions for the electrodeposition of59Co and57Co on stainless steel foils have been studied. A set of electrolytic parameters has been determined to get a reasonably good electrodeposited sample. The57Co electrodeposited foil was then introduced in a quartz tube to be annealed in an argon flow. The final product was a 11 μCi Mössbauer source for college experiments which was succesfully tested by obtaining spectra of stainless steel and sodium nitroprusside.
