Abstract
The uses of MeV and keV ion beams to measure hydrogen atoms in solids and onto the surfaces are described. Experimental results obtained using high energy ion beam scattering in resonance nuclear reaction analysis (RNRA) and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERD) are briefly reviewed. Also, the determination of hydrogen position on a Pt (111) surface at 150 K by using low energy recoil scattering analysis (LERS) is described. The different methods are compared in terms of their advantages and disadvantages for certain analytic characteristics in this report.
