Purification and recovery of 100MoO3 in crystal production for AMoRE experiment

The AMoRE collaboration searches for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 100Mo with ultra-radiopure molybdate crystals operated as low-temperature scintillating bolometers. For such a rare event search experiment, the techniques for investigating and reducing radioactive background contaminants in detector materials are extremely crucial. This paper discusses techniques for deep purification of enriched molybdenum for growing the crystals and the recovery of 100MoO3 from the residual melt left after growing lithium molybdate crystals. The purities of enriched molybdenum trioxide powders before and after the purification and that of the recovered powder were tested with ICP-MS; results of these tests are presented.
