Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements have been used to characterize, at the atomic level, the thermally induced structural relaxation of InAs amorphized by ion implantation. Our results are consistent with a relaxation mechanism mediated by point-defect annihilation with concomitant reduction in both chemical and structural disorder. Though relaxation yields a decrease in chemical disorder, homopolar bonding is still retained in the fully relaxed amorphous structure. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This contribution presents a sample preparation methodology to enable the identification, with synchrotron radiation-based analytical techniques, of the gettering sites of metallic impurities on the internal walls of implantation-induced nanocavities in Si substrates. Preliminary results for the Cu-Si and Cu-Cu bond lengths on the internal surface of the nanocavities are reported. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Structural characterization of amorphised InAs with synchrotron radiation
- 2002
-
In: Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms. - 0168-583X. ; 190, s. 851-855
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements have been utilized to determine the structural parameters of InAs amorphised by ion implantation. Relative to crystalline standards, increases in bond length and Debye-Walter factor were apparent. Our results indicate that a total coordination number of four atoms, as observed in the crystalline phase, is retained in the amorphous material. Furthermore, homopolar bonding, forbidden in the crystalline phase, is present in the amorphous material and, apparently, in amorphous III-V semiconductors in general.

Measurements of intense beams of Li-11 from a tantalum foil target
- 1999
-
In: Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms. - 0168-583X. ; 155:4, s. 515-517
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The yields of Li-11 from a tantalum target, constructed from very thin foils, have been measured at ISOLDE and found to be an order of magnitude greater than those previously measured for a standard roll foil target. The modifications to the existing target designs were based on theoretical modelling calculations. The tantalum foils are 2 mu m thick and the target mass is only one tenth of normal foil targets.

Production yields of noble-gas isotopes from ISOLDE UCx/graphite targets
- 2003
-
In: Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms. - 0168-583X. ; 204, s. 220-224
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Yields of He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe isotopic chains were measured from UCx/graphite and ThCx/graphite targets at the PSB-ISOLDE facility at CERN using isobaric selectivity achieved by the combination of a plasma-discharge ion source with a water-cooled transfer line. The delay times measured for a UCx/graphite target allow for an extrapolation to the expected yields of very neutron-rich noble gas isotopes, in particular for the "NuPECC reference elements" Ar and Kr, at the next-generation radioactive ion-beam facility EURISOL.

The penetration depth and lateral distribution of pigment related to the pigment grain size and the calendering of paper
- 2002
-
In: Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms. - 0168-583X. ; 189, s. 308-314
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The interaction of ink and newspaper has been investigated and the specific question of penetration of ink into the paper has been addressed with a nuclear microprobe using particle induced X-ray emission, The penetration depth of the newsprint is a critical factor in terms of increasing the quality of newsprint and minimising the amount of ink used. The objective of the experiment was to relate the penetration depth of pigment with the calendering of the paper, The dependence of the penetration depth on the pigment grain size was also Studied, To Study the penetration depth of pigment in paper, cyan ink with Cu as a tracer of the coloured pigment was used, For the study of the penetration depth dependence of pigment size. specially grounded Japanese ink with well-defined pigment grain size was used. This was compared to Swedish ink with pigment grains with normal size-distribution, The results show that the calendering of the paper considerably affects the penetration depth of ink.

Quality indicators for woodwind reed material
- 1999
-
In: Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms. - 0168-583X. ; 150:1-4, s. 673-678

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- For the generation of sound, some woodwind musical instruments, e.g. oboe, bassoon, clarinet and saxophone, are provided with mouthpieces made from reeds. These reeds are the culms of Arundo donax, a tall, cane-like perennial grass. A general problem is that the material is of varying quality, yet externally differences cannot be observed. Hence, large proportions of the prepared reeds are unusable. One hypothesis is that the changes in quality are correlated with differences in the chemical and anatomical structure of the tissue. Therefore, a comparison of superior and inferior mouthpieces, used by professional musicians, was undertaken to determinate potential indicators of quality. Nuclear microprobe analysis of reeds was carried out and complemented by scanning electron and light microscopy. The elemental levels of Si, P, S, Cl, K and Ca were compared between good and poor mouthpieces using appropriate statistical tests. No statistically significant differences could be identified. Microscopical observations showed that partial occlusion of vessels by tylose formation was associated with material deemed unusable.
