1. A method comprising:
accelerating a plurality of ytterbium ions toward a lattice of carbon fibers; wherein at least a portion of the plurality of ytterbium ions is a plurality of ytterbium-176 ions;
isolating the plurality of ytterbium-176 ions from the plurality of ytterbium ions; and
capturing the plurality of ytterbium-176 ions in the lattice of carbon fibers.
