Backscatter — For other uses, see Backscatter (disambiguation). In physics, backscatter (or backscattering) is the reflection of waves, particles, or signals back to the direction they came from. It is a diffuse reflection due to scattering, as opposed to… … Wikipedia
Low-energy ion scattering — LEIS redirects here; for the Hawaiian garland see Lei (Hawaii). Low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEIS), sometimes referred to simply as ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS), is a surface sensitive analytical technique used to characterize the … Wikipedia
Particle-induced X-ray emission — or proton induced X ray emission (PIXE) is a technique used in the determining of the elemental make up of a material or sample. When a material is exposed to an ion beam, atomic interactions occur that give off EM radiation of wavelengths in the … Wikipedia
