Abstract
The elastic scattering of MeV energetic light ions from surfaces was first reported more than half a century ago by Rutherford and his co-workers. Nuclear physicists used this phenomenon to their advantage as early as the 1940s as a means of recognising impurities and contaminants in their target materials.Keywords
