Description
Ion beams with energy up to a few MeV have been widely produced and used at Surrey Ion Beam Centre for various applications. Now we have five tools available for ion beam modification of materials, and one more new tool is under development for ion beam deposition. Examples of applications are: the manipulation of electrical conductivity; the investigation of irradiation induced stress and damage and the synthesis and smart cut of novel thin films etc. The materials involved covers insulating ceramics, structural metals, high temperature superconductors, solid state electrodes for batteries and biomaterials etc.
We also have a dedicated 2MV Tandem accelerator for ion beam analysis of solid state materials. With this tool, we have six beam lines designed for specific functions covering micro-beam, ToF-ERDA, ToF-SIMS, broad beam, external beam and high energy resolution PIXE. Combining all these analytical capability together, we are capable to do chemical analysis from hydrogen to heavy elements and molecules with spatial and depth distribution information.
