What Does ERDA Stand For?
ERDA stands for Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis
ERDA, or Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis, is a highly sensitive analytical technique used for characterizing the composition and structure of materials at the atomic level. By measuring the energy and angle of recoiled nuclei as they are elastically scattered by a target, ERDA enables the identification and quantification of elements and isotopes within a sample. This method is particularly valuable in fields such as materials science, semiconductor research, and surface analysis, providing insights into layering, contamination, and material properties without the need for extensive sample preparation.
