A direct method for the determination of the depth profile of implante
d polarized probes is described. It has been applied to measure the de
pth profile of B-12 nuclei implanted at an atomic concentration of 10(
-16) in polycrystalline gold. The results prove the ability of this me
thod to measure the depth distribution of implanted nuclei with an unk
nown energy distribution, which is typical for a polarized beam emergi
ng from a succession of nuclear reactions or electromagnetic interacti
ons.
