In this paper we describe the application of nuclear reactions induced by charged particles for the instrumental analysis of homogeneous binary compounds. The principle of a very accurate method of calibration, the "average stopping power" method, is given. The overall accuracy of the analytical results is discussed, and examples of analysis are given.
