Abstract Alpha sources of several activities were prepared by electrodeposition of natural uranium onto four different backings: stainless steel, Ni, Mo and Ti. The influence of the activity, the type of backing, and the process of heating the source on the energy resolution of the spectra were investigated using alpha spectrometry and Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) techniques. Diffusion profiles of the radioactive deposits in the backings were obtained from RBS and related to the results using alpha spectrometry
