FY14 Progress Report for PL12-LaserSPec SIMS-PD08: Laser Photoionization of Sputtered Neutral atoms in PNNL SIMS and Applications in Nuclear Materials and Environmental Analyses

Abstract

A continuous wave (CW) Ar ion laser producing photons at 244 nm (doubled from the fundamental wavelength at 488nm) was used to ionize neutrals sputtered from representative lanthanide (neodymium oxide, Nd2O3) and actinide (uranium oxide, U3O8) containing materials in the modified Cameca ims-4f at PNNL.
