https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.D01606
Dependence of concentration on depth perpendicular to the surface in a solid sample. It can be obtained by a simultaneous or sequential process of erosion and surface analysis or by measurement of the energy loss of primary backscattered particles produced by nuclear reactions.
