Technique for profiling 1H with 2.5-MeV Van de Graaff accelerators

Abstract: We describe an elastic recoil detection (ERD) analysis technique for profiling 1H in the near-surface regions of solids using a 2.5-MeV Van de Graaff accelerator commonly used for ion-backscattering analysis. Energy analysis of 1H forward scattered by 2.4-MeV 4He incident on the target tilted at an angle of ∼75° yields a depth resolution of ≲700 Å and a sensitivity of better than 0.1 at.% for 1H to depths of ≲0.6 μm in solids.

“…The molecular weight and composition of these random copolymers were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and forward recoil spectrometry (FRES). 16,17 For f > 0.5, the random copolymer is dPS-rich, and for f < 0.5, the random copolymer is PVP-rich. It should be noted that f denotes the average styrene fraction in a random copolymer chain.…”

“…The styrene unit in the copolymer was deuterated in order to allow for its use as a label in the subsequent FRES experiments. 16,17 The FRES technique utilizes a 4 He ion beam impinging on an area ∼5 mm × 1 mm of each fracture surface of the sample. The energy of recoiled hydrogen and deuterium particles is recorded and converted into a depth scale based on the energy loss of the particles on their path through the sample.…”

“…Esto solo se consigue si éstos, los áto-mos que queremos detectar, son más ligeros que el haz. Esta técnica se ha usado con éxito para obtener perfiles de concentración de H con haces de He (19). Según lo expuesto, es claro que RBS y ERD son dos técnicas analíticas complementarias.…”

“…For a first estimate of the required intensity of the desorption laser we have performed elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) investigations [23] to characterize the composition of the surface contamination of different metal foils. These measurements were carried out at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH and at the University of the Germany Federal Armed Forces in Munich.…”
