X-ray spectra from deuterated crystal structures interacting with ion beams with energies below 25 keV

Abstract

The yields of nuclear reactions in textured CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond samples irradiated with a deuteron ion beam are measured. The sample orientation in the deuteron beam is shown to influence the value of the DD reaction yield. The X-ray fluorescence spectra from the surface of deuterated targets irradiated with an ion beam are studied. Analysis of the fluorescence spectra revealed “additional” peaks which cannot be associated with any known elements and require separate studies.
