PIXE and Its Applications to Elemental Analysis
Quantum Beam Science, 2019 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).

The Role of Trace Elements in the Formation of Feline Corneal Sequestra. [PDF]
Vet OphthalmolABSTRACT Objective To characterize the trace element composition of feline corneal sequestra (FCS) and provide insights into their pathophysiology. Methods FCS samples were collected from 11 eyes of 9 cats following keratectomy and compared with corneal samples from four clinically normal control cats euthanized for reasons unrelated to the study ...

Quantification of <sup>10</sup>B and <sup>11</sup>B in Biological Samples in Translational Science and Clinical Applications for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). [PDF]
Med Res RevABSTRACT Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a targeted radiotherapy that exploits the selective accumulation of the 10B isotope within tumors, followed by irradiation with low‐energy neutrons to induce high linear energy transfer particles with short path lengths, resulting in localized tumor cell destruction while sparing surrounding healthy ...

Sub-cellular elemental imaging of human muscle tissues affected by neuromuscular diseases
Nukleonika, 2021 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
Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Fen Dergisi, 2021 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 ...
