Abstract
Analysis for hydrogen and other light elements is notoriously difficult by most traditional analytic methods. Because of this, techniques based on nuclear reactions have been developed which can determine quantitatively the concentration profiles of hydrogen, oxygen and other elements. The use of the 15N hydrogen profiling, resonant oxygen scattering, and backscattering spectroscopy to study the changes in elemental composition near glass surfaces as a result of exposure to aqueous solution will be discussed as will the importance of these data to our understanding of the mechanisms of the reaction between water and glass. Combining these nuclear reaction techniques with electromigration or ion implantation to introduce “markers” makes it possible to study dissolution rates directly and to study the effects of ion implantation on both the ionic exchange and dissolution rate of glasses exposed to water.
