A detailed analysis on the depth profiles of 30 keV H+ ion implanted n-GaAs for various doses from 1014 to 1017 cm-2 was carried by using Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), to identify the buried amorphous layer. The results are correlated with Raman and XRD strain parameter studies. Various thermal parameters are computed for the 30 keV H+ ion implanted n-GaAs and SIMS study reported for the first time.

The plasma membrane of ciliates is underlaid by a vast continuous array of membrane vesicles known as cortical alveoli. Previous work had shown that a purified fraction of these vesicles actively pumps calcium, suggesting that alveoli may constitute a calcium-storage compartment. Here we provide direct confirmation of this hypothesis using in situ visualization of total cell calcium on sections of cryofixed and cryosubstituted cells analyzed by SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometry) microscopy a method never previously applied to protists. A narrow, continuous, Ca-emitting zone located all along the cell periphery was observed on sections including the cortex. In contrast, Na and K were evenly distributed throughout the cell. Various controls confirmed that emission was from the alveoli, in particular, the emitting zone was still seen in mutants totally lacking trichocysts, the large exocytotic organelles docked at the cell surface, indicating that they make no major direct contribution to the emission. Calcium concentration within alveoli was quantified for the first time in SIMS microscopy using an external reference and was found to be in the range of 3 to 5 mM, a value similar to that for sarcoplasmic reticulum. After massive induction of trichocyst discharge, this concentration was found to decrease by about 50%, suggesting that the alveoli are the main source of the calcium involved in exocytosis.

ABSTRACTQuantitative depth profiles of impurities in LPE layers of HgCdTe have been determined using relative sensitivity factors calculated from ion implantation profiles. Standards were provided for Li, Be, B, C, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Cu, Ga, As, Br, and In. Relative sensitivity factors as a function of ionization potential for O2+ primary ion SIMS and electron affinity for Cs+ primary ion SIMS have been calculated in order to extend quantitation to elements not yet implanted. Examples of depth profiles for implant standards and unimplanted layers are given.
