Accelerators

Our ion beam tools are based on a 5MV tandem Van de Graaff ion accelerator and a 500 kV ion implanter

The following ion beam analysis (IBA) is available at the accelerators:

  • Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS)
  • Elastic Recoil Detection (ERD)
  • Rutherford Backscattering (RBS), also channeling mode
  • Particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), also channeling mode
  • Particle induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE)
  • Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA)

The ion beams can be used for ion implantation and ion irradiation with almost any element at a wide range of energies and fluences.
