The general problem in the analysis of a sample by non-destructive techniques such as nuclear microanalysis, ellipsometry, etc. is the interpretation of the measured data. The impurity depth profile obtained may noticeable non-physical fluctuations. From the mathematical point of view this could be explain by the fact that while interpreting the results we have to solve an incorrect problem to which routine computational methods are not applicable.

AbstractSilicon with buried oxides formed by ion implantation (SIMOX) or zone-melt recrystallization (ZMR) was exposed to deuterium gas at temperatures from 773 K to 1273 K, and the depth profile of the D was then determined by nuclear-reaction analysis. The D was localized within the buried oxide, with no measurable quantity in the Si phase. Uptake was controlled by permeation through the Si overlayer, and the permeability of D in Si was determined at 873 K. The sample dependence of D uptake indicated substantially fewer defect-trap sites in SIMOX oxide annealed at 1678 K as opposed to 1548 K, with still smaller defect densities in the ZMR oxide. Hydrogen exposure at 1273 K substantially disrupted the SIMOX structures.

AbstractNuclear reaction analysis is discussed as a method for determining the distribution of deuterium beneath the surfaces of glasses exposed to heavy water solutions for various times and temperatures. Limited examples of both conventional depth profiling for deuterium and a new technique for deuterium mapping are presented. The possible use of deuterium mapping for investigating the kinetics and mechanisms of the leaching of glasses is discussed.

Polycrystalline Fe 99.95 and 99.5 samples were implanted with helium at 8 keV and 3 MeV. Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy (TDS) and Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) provided a complementary set of techniques to characterize helium-materials interactions within two different implantation depths, respectively close to the surface and in the bulk. Using TDS, it was possible to get information about the nature and the states of the structures where helium was trapped in radiation damaged Fe specimens. Activation energies for every trapping site (mono-vacancies, clusters) have been determined from conventional reaction model. The effect of interstitial carbon was also discussed, and compared with previous ab-initio studies. Moreover, the helium bulk diffusion constants in radiation damaged structures could be derived from non destructive 3He depth profiling. Preliminary observations highlighted that a few part of He remained trapped while helium bubbles migrated in the bulk.
