Spatially resolving light elements with high resolution analysis for waste forms characterization
EMSL Project ID
48501
Abstract
Light elements such as Li and B are commonly used in waste forms development as part of the waste or as a component in the matrix material used to encapsulate the waste, e.g., glass, ceramics. Very few techniques are available for spatially resolving and quantifying these light elements in high resolution. Electron probe microanalysis with wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (EPMA-WDS) and nano-secondary ion mass spectrometry (nanoSIMS) are two of the only options available for mapping these light elements.
