PIXE and Its Applications to Elemental Analysis
When charged particles collide with atoms, atomic inner shell electrons become ionized, producing characteristic X-rays. This phenomenon is called particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE).

Trace element and radiological characterisation of ash and soil at a legacy site in the former Raša coal-mining area [PDF]
Coal mined in the shut-down Raša mine in Istria, Croatia had a high organic sulphur content. What has remained of its local combustion is a coal and ash waste (legacy site) whose trace element and radionuclide composition in soil has enduring ...

Integrated quantitative PIXE analysis and EDX spectroscopy using a laser-driven particle source [PDF]
A laser-driven particle source is exploited for the elemental and stratigraphic characterization of a nonhomogeneous sample. Among the existing elemental characterization techniques, particle-induced x-ray emission (PIXE) and energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX)

Sub-cellular elemental imaging of human muscle tissues affected by neuromuscular diseases
Various types of neuromuscular diseases differ in symptoms, pathology, and clinical picture but one of their common elements is muscle weakness, which could lead to human motor activities impairment and in many cases to shortening of life span and even ...

Quantitative Analysis for RBS and PIXE Spectrums of Thin Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) Films
The objective of this work is to introduce a different technique to existing studies that determine the stoichiometric ratios of thin CZTS structures. To this end, the CZTS targets were propagated by sol-gel process and later RBS and PIXE spectra were ...
