Nuclear techniques for bulk and surface analysis of materials

Journal of Radioanalytical Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A review is presented summarizing several nondestructive bulk and surface analysis nuclear techniques developed in the Grumman Research Laboratories. Bulk analysis techniques include 14-MeV-neutron activation analysis and accelerator based neutron radiography. The surface analysis techniques include resonant and non-resonant nuclear microprobes for the depth profile analysis of light elements (H, He, Li, Be, C, N, O, and F) in the surface of materials. Emphasis is placed on the description and discussion of the unique nuclear microprobe analytical capabilities of immediate importance to a number of current problems facing materials specialists.
