Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) is based on the interaction, at both the atomic and the nuclear level, between accelerated charged particles and the bombarded material. When a charged particle moving at high speed strikes a material, it interacts with the electrons and nuclei of the material atoms, slows down and possibly deviates from its initial trajectory. This can lead to the emission of particles or radiation whose energy is characteristic of the elements which constitute the sample material.

RBS (Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry)
RBS demonstrates the electrostatic repulsion between high energy incident ions and target nuclei. The specimen is bombarded with a monoenergetic beam of 4He+ particles and the backscattered particles are detected.M1 M2E0

NRA (Nuclear Reaction Analysis) is based on nuclear reactions and the analysis is performed with charged particles. NRA has demonstrated its usefulness in the study of the oxidation and deposition of hydrocarbon residue on metallic surfaces.

ERD (Elastic Recoil Detection)
ERD is a technique for a quantitative analysis of light elements in solids. Heavy ions collide with a sample and atoms (H, He) are ejected from the sample. The incident energetic ions typically have MeV of energy, enough to kick out the atoms being struck. For ERD, the mass of the incident particle must be greater than that of the target nucleus.

PIXE (Particle-induced X-ray Emission)
Particle-induced X-ray emission or proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) is a technique used in the determining of the elemental make-up of a material or sample. When a material is exposed to an ion beam, atomic interactions occur that give off EM radiation of wavelengths in the x-ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum specific to an element. PIXE is a powerful yet non-destructive elemental analysis technique now used routinely in different fields of research.
