“…For example, the above foil was irradiated at E 0 = 3.0 MeV with a fluence O=1. 4• protons/cm a and a density J=7.3x 1015 protons/cm 2 over an area of A0=45 p,m 2, where this area was calculated from the FWHM of the PIXE microbeam (Sect. 2.2; here: du =7.5 gm).…”

Abstract. Mylar foils have been irradiated under typical PIXE conditions using the Bochum nuclear microprobe. The induced radiation damage was investigated with the HEIS technique for studies of the chemical composition and the STIM technique for studies of the extent of axial and lateral damage. The data show that the current density of the microbeam influences the extent of axial and lateral damage in the foils, while the fluence of the microbeam causes changes in chemical composition: more than one-half of the original H and O abundances are lost, while the C abundance -after a 15% drop within the first few seconds -increases slowly with fluence. Furthermore, the thickness of the foil affects the final chemical composition of the sample only at large fluences. The results indicate that some caution is necessary in the interpretation of PIXE analyses of trace elements in biological or medical samples using nuclear microprobes.

“…The history of ion-microbeam technology began in the 1970s with the advent of proton microbeams, which were first used for local elemental analysis at mesoscopic length scales [1,2]. Since then, the applications of this technology have developed remarkably across numerous fields in science and technology, such as biomedicine, materials science, semiconductor-device engineering, geology, environment and archaeology [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Keywords:Microbeam Ion beam analysis Proton beam writing Single ion hit Diamond membrane detector a b s t r a c t Herein, we review the last half decade of progress in ion-microbeam technology and applications at the Takasaki Ion Accelerators for Advanced Radiation Applications facility. Materials were microanalysed with the light-ion-microbeam system by combining micro-particle-induced X-ray and c-ray emission, nuclear-reaction analysis and micro-ion-beam-induced luminescence to analyse elements, including light elements such as lithium, boron or fluoride, and also their chemical states. For microfabrication, we used particle-beam writing and techniques of maskless patterning to processes materials without etching. The goal was to develop optical, magnetic or other new types of microdevices with both light-ion and the heavy-ion microbeam systems. In addition, techniques were developed to monitor in real time every individual ion injection by using an efficient scintillator or a thin diamond particle detector in both heavy-ion and high-energy heavy-ion microbeam systems.
