Thin layer activation (TLA) is a widely used nuclear method to investigate and control the loss of material during wear, corrosion and erosion processes. The process requires knowledge of depth profiles of the investigated radioisotopes produced by charged particle bombardment. The depth distribution of the activity can be determined with direct, very time-consuming step by step measurement or by calculation from reliable cross section, stopping power and sample composition data. These data were checked experimentally at several points performing only a couple of measurements.
