Abstract

Material analysis and testing add information and systematics to development processes. This boosts the technological development speed and aids in generating new ideas and solutions. As such, science and industry try improving their accuracy, resolution, and contrast mechanisms to enable extracting more knowledge from processes and samples. Accelerator based methods exploit photons, electrons, neutrons, and ions in probably >100 individual methods. All of them exploit similar physics and devices discussed earlier in this book. This chapter discusses about 30 methods, highlight their information properties to enable the reader understand and select a complementary set of methods for a given analysis problem.
