摘要: The neutron depth profiling (NDP) technique has become an increasingly important method to nondestructively measure the absolute concentration versus of various elements in substrates. A permanent NDP facility is operational at a tangential beam port 1-MW TRIGA Mark II research reactor University Texas Austin (UT). This was developed perform materials research, specifically measurements interest microelectronics industry. Applications UT-NDP include boron-10 profiles borophosphosilicate glass samples and helium-3 implanted metals, alloys amorphous materials. study underway determine radiation damage microstructural changes stainless steel by helium irradiation using Transmission Electron Microscopy. Another study, currently planned, surface wear measuring beryllium-7 sodium-22
