Megaelectron volt

Megaelectron volt (MeV) ion beam techniques offer a number of non-destructive analysis methods that allow to measure depth profiles of elemental concentrations in material surfaces. Elements are identified by elastic scattering, by specific nuclear reaction products or by emission of characteristic X-rays. With nuclear microprobes raster images of the material composition at the surface can be obtained. Particle-induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) is especially suited for fluorine detection down to the ppm concentration level. 

Nuclear binding energies may be expressed in many different units, including kilo-joules/mole of atoms, kilojoules/gram of atoms, and megaelectron volts/nucleon. Some useful equivalences are... 

Calculate the nuclear binding energy Cl in (a) kilojoules per mole of Cl atoms, (b) kilojoules per gram of Cl atoms, and (c) megaelectron volts per nucleon.

Physica.1 The energy level of ionizing radiation is measured as megaelectron volts (MeV). The amount of ionizing radiation released by a material regardless of the type of radiation has the measure curie (Ci) in British Units. In metric units the measure is becquerel (Bq). A curie (Ci) is the amount of radioactive material that has a disintegration rate of 3.7 X 10 °atoms/s.
