Sorption of actinides, particularly plutonium, onto submicrometer-sized colloids increases their mobility, but these plutonium are difficult to detect in the far-field. We identified actinides on groundwater from Mayak Production Association, Urals, Russia; at source, activity is approximately 1000 becquerels per liter. Plutonium activities still 0.16 liter a distance 3 kilometers, where 70 90 mole percent sorbed colloids, confirming that responsible for long-distance transport plutonium....

We have studied the incorporation of Be and Si in GaN grown using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). From secondary-ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements, was found to an enhanced diffusion rate at high concentration similar behaviour observed previously GaAs. On other hand, behaves as a conventional n-type dopant with no evidence from SIMS for either segregation or out layer. For Be-incorporated material we report new lines PL spectrum both wurtzite zinc blende polytypes, suggest that may be...

Although the use of cesium (or oxygen) primary ions in secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) enabled its success microelectronics, issues arise at ultra‐low energies, as required for extreme depth resolution, sputter yield becomes very small such that one enters regime beam deposition instead material erosion. A potential solution is then to lower Cs supply by using a Cs/Xe co‐sputtering introduced ION‐TOF and explored extensively J. Brison. In this work, we describe somewhat similar...
