Spatially resolving light elements with high resolution chemical analysis for waste forms characterization


EMSL Project ID
50116

Abstract

Lithium and boron are difficult to spatially resolve due to their low signal above the background with various analytical techniques. This user proposal is proposing to use EMSL facilities to fully characterize lithium and boron distribution in various types of waste forms.
