Ion Beam Analysis: Fundamentals and Applications
Ion Beam Analysis Fundamentals and Applications Author:Michael Nastasi, James W. Mayer, Yongqiang Wang This book provides a complete resource for practitioners using ion beam analysis. It explains basic characteristics of ion beams as applied to the analysis of materials, as well as IBA of art/archaeological objects. The book covers both how ions interact with solids and also what information can be gained. The contents follow a straightforward o... more »rganization starting with the fundamentals of ion beam analysis, from kinematics to ion stopping, Rutherford backscattering, channeling, elastic recoil detection, particle induced X-ray emission, and nuclear reaction analysis. The second part of the book turns to applications, looking at the broad range of potential uses in thin film reactions, ion implementation, biology, and art/archaeology.« less
