MIT 22.01: Introduction To Nuclear Engineering And Ionizing Radiation

Lecture 19: Uses of Photon and Ion Nuclear Interactions (2016x19)

Air date: Nov 08, 2016

The uses of photons and ions to probe and understand matter are shown as practical examples of what we’ve learned in the past couple of weeks: electron microscopy, positron annihilation spectroscopy, elemental identification, and surface analysis via Auger electron spectroscopy. Prof. Short illustrates some techniques with examples from his PhD and undergraduate research projects.
