Abstract

In this work the synthesis of calcium telluride has been carried out by two methods using enriched 128Te in both cases. The X-ray diffraction results of both samples correspond to the orthorhombic tricalcic telluride. Once the two samples of calcium telluride were identified, they were irradiated with thermal neutrons in a Nuclear Reactor. The results of both samples of iodine correspond to the 27.72 keV photo peak of 129I reported in 1962. The calcium telluride obtained by the two methods resulted in a possible Mössbauer 129I source.
