Determination of the detection limit of Ni at the Lund AMS facility by using characteristic projectile X-rays

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is an ultra-sensitive method for counting atoms, both radionuclides and stable nuclides. When using small tandem accelerators to measure heavy isotopes, interfering isobars are often troublesome. One way to reduce this interference is to combine AMS with the detection of characteristic X-rays of the projectile. After analysis in the AMS system it is possible to identify ions of different atomic number by their characteristic X-rays, by slowing down the ions in a suitable target. In this paper, the detection limit of ⁵⁹Ni at the Lund AMS facility is reported. A method for the chemical extraction of nickel from stainless steel, combined with a purification step to reduce the cobalt content in the sample by several orders of magnitude, is also described.     

High yield antibiotic producing mutants of Streptomyces erythreus induced by low energy ion implantation

Conidia of Streptomyces erythreus, an industrial microbe, were implanted by nitrogen ions with energy of 40–60 keV and fluence from 1 × 10¹¹ to 5 × 10¹⁴ ions/cm². The logarithm value of survival fraction had good linear relationship with the logarithm value of fluence. Some mutants with a high yield of erythromycin were induced by ion implantation. The yield increment was correlated with the implantation fluence. Compared with the mutation results induced by ultraviolet rays, mutation effects of ion implantation were obvious having higher increasing erythromycin potency and wider mutation spectrum. The spores of Bacillus subtilis were implanted by arsenic ions with energy of 100 keV. The distribution of implanted ions was measured by Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) and calculated in theory. The mechanism of mutation induced by ion implantation was discussed.     

Determination of L3 subshell X-ray production cross-sections and fluorescence yields of Pb, Th and U

A study of L₃ subshell X-ray production cross-sections and fluorescence yields by using characteristic K X-rays as the exciting radiation is described. Only the L₃ subshells of Pb, Th and U were excited by the characteristic K X-rays of the elements used as secondary sources. The cross-sections for the production of L_l, L and L_β groups of L₃ subshell X-rays of Pb, Th and U have been measured using photoionization by Rb, Nb and Mo K X-rays. The measured L₃ X-ray production cross-section values for Pb, Th and U are in good agreement with the theoretical ones evaluated using L₃ subshell fluorescence yield ω₃, fractions of the radiative width F_3i and L₃ subshell photoionization cross-section σ₃. The L₃ subshell fluorescence yields (ω₃) have also been computed using the presently measured cross-section values and the theoretical L₃ subshell photoionization cross-section values. These results are compared with the theoretically predicted values.

Electronic excitation in sputtered atoms and the oxygen effect

Bombardment of surfaces by ions gives rise to a variety of inelastic collision events leading to the ejection of excited atoms and ions. Such excited sputtered particles have been studied since more than 80 years through their optical emission, when they decay in front of the target to the electronic ground state, having lifetimes of 10⁻⁹ to 10⁻⁷ s, typically. Information on the energy distribution of such excited states can be obtained by two different techniques: light vs distance measurements (LvD) and by studying line profile broadening in light emission due to the Doppler effect. Only recently it has become possible to study in addition metastable excited atoms using laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIF). Relative sputtering yields and energy distributions have been measured for such metastable states and two types can be distinguished. States with a very low excitation energy (0–0.3 eV), being sublevels of the electronic ground state, were found to have yields and energy distributions comparable to the electronic ground state, while metastable states at higher excitation energies (above 1 eV) seem to behave similar to short lived excited states, typically observed in secondary photon emission (BLE) with excitation energies in the range of 2–6 eV. This behaviour is also clearly visible with respect to oxygen surface coverage or increased near surface oxygen concentration where, similar to secondary ion emission, drastic changes in the yield by orders of magnitude have been found for excited atoms as well as for ions. In addition, under the same conditions a strong decrease in the sputtering yield of neutral ground state atoms has been observed for a number of metals. LIF results for highly excited metastable states are compared with recent results obtained by studying line profile broadening in light emission for Ca, Al and Cr targets. Different mechanisms that have been proposed to account for the observations will be discussed.     

Analysis of X-ray spectra in 14.5-GHz ECR ion source for optimizing operation conditions

An electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source operating at 14.5 GHz was developed for the generation of charged ions at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). Experiments were carried out to study the plasma inside the ECR ion source by analyzing the X-ray spectra generated by it. The X-ray energy distribution and electron energy inside the plasma chamber are influenced by the status of the heated plasma. That status depends on various operation parameters such as microwave power, injected gas-pressure, and solenoid and trim coil currents. X-ray spectra were recorded to find the correlation between the plasma and the X-rays for variations in the operation parameters. A standard NaI(Tl) detector was used for that purpose. The X-ray energy distribution was studied in the range of 100–500 W for radiofrequency power. The influence of the injected gas pressure and the mirror ratio in the emission of X-rays were analyzed.
