Applications of Elastic Recoil Spectrometry to Hydrogen Determination in Solids

  • Chapter
Forward Recoil Spectrometry

Abstract

A large number of application examples of ERDA spectrometry were given in previous chapters concerning the determination of hydrogen isotopes as depth profiling other light elements (Chapters 5–9). These examples are classified on the basis of the ERDA spectrometry involved. In Chapter 12 we focus on hydrogen isotope determination using conventional ERDA. We illustrate the wide range of application fields covered by this type of investigation.
