Conclusions about nuclear microprobe Analysis of Materials
Structural characterisation by the classic techniques (PIXE/RBS/NRA):
- All publications use same model for appropriate technique
Electrical characterisation by the emerging techniques (IBIC/IL):
- Published in past 2 years: 11 different models/methods
- Published in past 3 years: Equivalent number of papers as the classic techniques
Combined techniques significant findings:
- IL/IBIC CVD diamond recombination is radiative
- ERDA for H and IBIC offer significant advantages in the study of charge transport
Some significant developments in probe design
