The Sumy scanning nuclear microprobe: Design features and first tests

The new design of magnetic quadrupole lens doublet manufactured from a single piece

“…According to our preliminary calculations in [9,10] this purity of quadrupole field will be quite enough to have a spot dimension of <2 lm with current I % 100 pA for beam brightness about 10 pA/(lm 2 mrad 2 MeV) in the material science applications. The authors intend to compare these results with data from the grid-shadow method in a later paper.…”

Effect of Cu Negative Ion Implantation on Physical Properties of Zn1-xMnxTe Films

“…The studies were carried out using the electrostatic accelerator Sokol with the energy of a proton beam up to 2 MeV (Institute of Applied Physics, NAS of Ukraine, Sumy) [10]. Summed-up spectra from several areas of the sample surfaces (particle induced X-ray emission, PIXE) were scanned and point-by-point spectra were studied using the micro-beam (µ-PIXE).…”

Studying the elemental composition and manganese distribution in Zn1 − x Mn x Te and Zn1 − x Mn x S films using the μ-PIXE and EDAX methods

“…This com plex provides analytical channels for ion lumines cence, nuclear reactions, Rutherford backscattering (with a magnetic spectrometer), and a nuclear scan ning microprobe (with secondary electron emission detectors, a semiconductor detector of characteristic X ray radiation, and a charged particle detector) [10].…”

“…The PIXE spectra were processed using GUPIX software. The specifics of the scanning and focusing system of the microanalytical accelerator complex are described in [10].…”
