Ion Beam Analysis is an important family of modern analytical techniques involving the use of MeV ion beams to probe the composition, obtain elemental depth profiles, or determine the depth profile of damage in single crystals. The last conference (Albuqueque, New Mexico, 2003) was published in Nuclear Instruments and Methods


RBS: Rutherford backscattering is sensitive to heavy elements in a light matrix ERD: Elastic recoil analysis is sensitive to light elements in a heavy matrix PIXE: Particle induced X-ray emission gives the trace and minor elemental composition NRA: Nuclear reaction analysis is sentitive to particular isotopes

Channelling:
