Excitation functions for ¹⁶⁹Yb production on low-medium energy accelerators, i.e. proton on ¹⁶⁹Tm and ^natYb, deuteron on ¹⁶⁹Tm, and ⁴He ion on ^natEr, were calculated by the ALICE/ASH and TALYS-1.0 codes. The target thickness was predicted by SRIM code. Theoretical integral yield for each reaction was compared with experimental data. The radionuclide purity of ¹⁶⁹Yb from the ¹⁶⁹Tm(p, n)¹⁶⁹Yb reaction was determined, and maximum cross section predicted by the ALICE/ASH and TALYS-1.0 codes was about 182 and 154 mb at 11 and at 9 MeV, respectively.
