Description

We have developed a new and simple technique for thick, insulating samples for PIXE analysis. The sample was covered with a carbon-coated mylar film. The thickness of the mylar film was 2.7 μm, and the carbon layer was less than 100 A thick. This technique proved to be quite effective for eliminating sample charge buildup and also for sample current measurements. (orig.)
