Kr implantation into heavy ion irradiated monolithic U–Mo/Al systems: SIMS and SEM investigations

Thermal behaviour of caesium implanted in UO2: A comparative study with the xenon behaviour

“…The inert gases (He, Kr and Xe) are difficult to ionise and their measurements are therefore challenging by SIMS. However, the feasibility of quantitative analyses has been already demonstrated for Kr in uranium-based materials [21][22] and for Xe in UO2 [23].…”

Dynamic SIMS for materials analysis in nuclear science

“…The dynamic SIMS technique proves extremely useful for a wide range of nuclear science applications: study of fission products behavior in nuclear materials, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] characterization of plasma facing materials in fusion devices, [12][13][14] investigation of long-term behavior of nuclear materials for safe waste disposal, 15,16 uranium isotope analysis on environmental samples collected from nuclear handling facilities in the search for undeclared nuclear activities, [17][18][19][20][21] and study of uranium accumulation processes in human tissues and cells. [22][23][24] Dynamic SIMS is considered to be a major analytical technique for nuclear fuel characterization and is complementary to other techniques used in this field.…”
