Multidimensional ion microbeam analysis

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5557006

The nuclear microprobe is an instrument used to determine the atomic composition of the near-surface region of materials and is finding increasing use in a wide variety of scientific areas. When a scanning microprobe uses a depth-sensitive ion-beam analysis technique such as RBS, three dimensional analyses can be performed. This paper reviews current nuclear microbeam applications with emphasis on results involving such multidimensional profiling. 80 refs., 5 figs.
