Organisation Description
The Ion Beam Center (IBC) is an internationally leading facility for the application of ion beams in materials research. Plasma and ion sources at the IBC generate ions of all species with energies ranging from eV up to 60 MeV.
The center offers a variety of services, including:
# Ion Beam Modification: Material modification through ion implantation and irradiation.
# Surface Processing: Low-energy / highly-charged ions (LEI/HCI) and focused ion beams (FIB).
# Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS): Including in-situ (partly real-time) thin film studies.
# Specialised Equipment: Double beamline, PIXE camera, ion microprobe for chemical imaging of large samples, and an ion microscope (ORION Nanolab) for high-resolution imaging and nanofabrication.
Additional services include sample preparation and clean-room processing, surface and thin film metrology (electron microscopy and spectroscopy, X-ray scattering), and software for simulation of ion-related processes and data evaluation.
Potential Type of Collaboration
Sharing of technical expertise; participation in working groups; access to data or facilities; joint research initiatives; training programmes or knowledge transfer activities.
