Research Abstract

In this study, the nanobeam formation system and multi-modal analysis system were developed. A beam current of 150 pA was achieved with an spatial resolution of 0.6*0.8um2 by optimizing an accelerator system and the lens system.
We applied the system to the analysis of PM2.5 atmospheric fine particles. Fine PM2.5 particles were analysed by PIXE, using the energy loss distribution of the samples measured by Off-Axis STIM. PM 2.5 particles are collected at Fukuoka city using cascade impactor. Clay, cement manufacture, coal combustion, the steel industry were regarded as the source of these particles. This system will be useful for evaluating the source of origin of these particles.
