چکیده
Rutherford backscattering and particle induced x-ray emission have been utilized to precisely characterize targets used in nuclear fission experiments. The method allows for a fast and non destructive determination of target thickness, homogeneity and element composition.

Advanced physics and algorithms in the IBA DataFurnace
The IBA DataFurnace (NDF) is a general purpose program for analysis of IBA data. It currently includes Rutherford backscattering (RBS), elastic (non-Rutherford) backsscattering (EBS), elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA), non-resonant nuclear reaction analysis (NRA), and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE). Here we discuss recent developments in the advanced physics capabilities implemen...
متن کاملAccurate determination of quantity of material in thin films by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry.
Ion beam analysis (IBA) is a cluster of techniques including Rutherford and non-Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE). Recently, the ability to treat multiple IBA techniques (including PIXE) self-consistently has been demonstrated. The utility of IBA for accurately depth profiling thin films is critically reviewed. As an important example of IBA, thre...
متن کاملExperimental determination of layers films thicknesses
The determination of particle induced x-ray emission (PIXE) cross sections and the concentration of elements in a material require the knowledge of the target sample thickness. In this aim, measurements of the thickness by three different methods have been performed. These are absorption of X-rays by a 55 Fe source, transmission of alpha particles by a 241 Am source and Rutherford backscatterin...
متن کاملSimultaneous PIXE and RBS data analysis using Bayesian Inference with the DataFurnace code
The Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) techniques can be used to obtain complementary information about the characteristics of a sample but, traditionally, a gap has separated the available computer codes for analyzing data from each technique, being hard to simultaneously analyze data from the same sample. The recent development of a free an...
متن کاملDetermination of the density of silicon–nitride thin films by ion-beam analytical techniques (RBS, PIXE, STIM)
This work presents the investigation of some commercially available and commonly used Si3N4 foils prepared with LPCVD technique. The density and the stoichiometry of these films were determined by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and profilometry, while the study of impurities was achieved with particle induced X-ray emission method. It was found that the density of the studied Si3N4 film...
