The excitation functions of 89g,m,90,91m,92mNb,88,89Zr, and 87g,m,88,90m,91mY from alpha-induced reactions on 89Y were measured from their respective threshold to 45 MeV by using a stacked-foil activation technique at the MC-50 cyclotron of the Korean Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences. The results were compared with the earlier reported data as well as with the theoretical values obtained from the TENDL-2013 library based on the TALYS1.6 code. Our measurements in the energy region from the threshold energy to 45 MeV are in general good agreement with the other experimental data and calculated results. The integral yields for thick target of the produced radionuclides were also deduced from their measured cross sections and the stopping power of 89Y. The measured excitation functions find importance in various practical applications including nuclear medicine and improvement of nuclear model calculations.
