This work shows one of the activity of the group in the framework of the HOLMES project for direct neutrino mass search. Starting from Ho oxide and working at high temperature, it is possible to obtain the deposition of a metal Ho film which is necessary for the implantation into cryogenic detectors. A simulation has been developed to...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films were prepared by means of Anodic Spark Deposition (ASD) from thin and flat metallic titanium (Ti) films pre-deposited on high quality quartz slides by electron beam evaporation. AFM analysis indicates the formation of uniform mesoporous layers and a definite increase (about 50%) of the film thickness upon...

The neutrino mass experiment MARE is presently focusing on the feasibility study of electron capture decaying isotope 163 Ho, as an alternative approach to the well investigated 187 Re beta decaying isotope. 163 Ho, which undergoes a very low Q value decay with about 4500 years half life, gives the advantages of using very low mass metallic...
