Understanding Elemental Uptake in Plants Using High Resolution SIMS and Complementary Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mapping the distribution of trace elements at the subcellular scale is analytically challenging but necessary in order to understand the mechanisms of uptake of toxic and beneficial elements into plants and crops which can affect the human diet. With subcellular localisation of the trace elements it is possible to determine the pathways by which these important elements are taken up by the plant and how they are stored and accumulated in edible tissues.

1 “ Total IBA ” – Where Are We ?
The suite of techniques which are available with the small accelerators used for MeV ion beam analysis (IBA) range from broad beams, microbeams or external beams using the various particle and photon spectrometries (including RBS, EBS, ERD, STIM, PIXE, PIGE, NRA and their variants), to tomography and secondary particle spectrometries like MeV-SIMS. These can potentially yield almost everything ...
متن کاملIn-Situ TOF-SIMS and SFM Measurements Providing True 3D Chemical Characterization of Inorganic and Organic Nanostructures
Information on the chemical composition, physical properties and the three dimensional structure of materials and devices at the nanometer scale is of major importance in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) is known to be an extremely sensitive surface imaging technique which provides elemental as well as comprehensive molecular information ...
متن کاملLinear codes with complementary duals related to the complement of the Higman-Sims graph
In this paper we study codes $C_p(overline{{rm HiS}})$ where $p =3,7, 11$ defined by the 3- 7- and 11-modular representations of the simple sporadic group ${rm HS}$ of Higman and Sims of degree 100. With exception of $p=11$ the codes are those defined by the row span of the adjacency matrix of the complement of the Higman-Sims graph over $GF(3)$ and $GF(7).$ We show that these codes ha...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Elemental Composition and Depth Profiles of Nitride Nanostructured Coating Based on the TiHfVNbZr High-entropy Alloy
The elemental and structural features of the nitride nanostructured coating produced by vacuum arc evaporation from high-entropy cathode TiHfVNbZr were studied. Using of the complementary methods of elemental analysis (RBS, SIMS and GDMS) allowed to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the elemental composition, namely to determine the chemical composition of the surface layer, to establish th...

In this study, we show that the rate of shell precipitation in the extant planktic foraminifer Orbulina universa is sufficiently rapid that 12 h calcification periods in O-labeled seawater can be resolved and accurately measured using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) for in situ dO analyses. Calcifying O. universa held at constant temperature (22 C) were transferred every 12 h between amb...
