Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is by far the most sensitive surface teclmique, but also the most difficult one to quantify. SIMS is very popular in materials research for making concentration depth profiles and chemical maps of the surface. For a more extensive treatment of SIMS the reader is referred to [3] and [14. 15 and 16]. The principle of SIMS is conceptually simple When a surface is exposed to a beam of ions...

Pulsed plasmas containing hydrogen isotopes can produce bursts of alpha particles and neutrons as a consequence of nuclear reactions. The neutrons are useful for radiation-effects testing and for other materials research. A dense plasma focus filled with deuterium at low pressure has produced 10 neutrons in a single pulse (76) (see Deuterium AND TRITIUM). Intense neutron fluxes also are expected from thermonuclear fusion research devices employing either magnetic or inertial confinement.

Because of the unique features of the x-ray radiation available at synchrotrons, many novel experiments ate being conducted at these sources. Some of these unique features are the very high intensity and the brightness (number of photons per unit area per second), the neatly parallel incident beam, the abihty to choose a narrow band of wavelengths from a broad spectmm, the pulsed nature of the radiation (the electrons or positrons travel in bunches), and the coherence of the beam (the x-ray photons in a pulse are in phase with one another). The appHcations are much more diverse than the appHcations described in this article. The reader may wish to read the articles in the Proceedings of the Materials Research Society Hsted in the bibhography.
