Description

Proton elastic scattering at energies around 2.0 MeV was used to determine the concentration of oxygen in a Y-Ba-Cu-O compound, nitrogen in a TiN film on steel substrate, and carbon and oxygen in a thin Mylar film. Proton scattering from light elements in this energy range exhibits non-Rutherford scattering cross section, which is enhanced by a factor of 4 to 7 relative to the Rutherford one. Thus the sensitivity for the light element detection is considerably larger than that obtained by He+ ion scattering. Quantitative analysis by proton scattering is discussed and compared with other methods
