S. Kopta et al., DETECTION AND DETERMINATION OF ELEMENTAL CONTENTS BY ELASTIC-SCATTERING OF LIGHT-IONS AND BY RECOILING NUCLEI MEASUREMENTS, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 172(1), 1993, pp. 3-17
A method of determination of elemental contents in compound substances
has been elaborated. The method is based on the simulation of the ene
rgy spectra of elastically scattered ions and recoil nuclei. The simul
ated spectra are then compared with the measured ones. Effects influen
cing the spectra, such as bombarding beam energy spread, the energy st
raggling of ions and the finite resolution of the spectrometer, are ac
counted for in the algorithm.
