Abstract

MeV Ion-Beam analysis (IBA) can quantify the whole periodic table, provide tomographic information, analyse elements up to 100 µm depth, and achieve down to nm depth resolution under ideal conditions. This brings along a high degree of instrument and data analysis complexity. Only recently, optimised instrument geometry and precision on the hardware-side and artificial intelligence, modern computing power, and new nuclear cross-sections on the software-side enabled analysing the IBA spectra effectively and with only little human interaction. The increased throughput reinvents IBA as an elemental imaging technology.

This work presents a 5x5mm² imaging of a granite sample with 100x100 pixels using four IBA methods measured and analysed within 24 h. This demonstrates the capabilities of the newly developed software and hardware solutions. The analysis reveals SiO₂, an Al, and a Fe rich phases in the granite. The present elements and their concentrations match typical granite phases.

期刊介绍： Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
