Ordinary «bulk» silicon with high concentrations of hydrogen implanted in the crystal lattice showed some promise, but to «dope» silicon in this way meant bombarding
it with ion beams, which damages it.
«We examined the samples with electron microscopy using thin layers cut out of the composite
with ion beams,» explains Tobias Kraus, Division Head for Structure Formation at INM.

beam with a
beam of heavier
ions (first gold, for about five weeks, then a shorter two - week run
with aluminum).
The scientists aimed
beams of heavy
ions at targets of certain elements to produce nuclei
with 75 neutrons and 55, 57, 59 or 61 protons in a wide range of spin states.
With this gain, researchers can produce laser - accelerated
ion beams at the rate needed for treating patients, reducing the potential treatment time to several minutes, thus saving costs and making the procedure easier for patients to endure.
Using
ion beams allows medical professionals to calculate exactly where
ions need to stop;
with precise aiming, they can kill only the tumor cells and spare the vast majority of nearby healthy cells.
The use of intermediate size nuclei is expected to result in intermediate energy density - not as high as in earlier runs colliding two
beams of gold
ions at the Relativistic Heavy
Ion Collider (RHIC), but more than was produced by colliding a
beam of gold
ions with much lighter deuterons.
Weiqing Zheng, a research associate at the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation, and Liang Wang, an associate scientist in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, examine a sample in a lab
with focused
ion beam analysis.
Growing interest in research using
beams of short - lived radioactive
ions led to another reconfiguration of the facility,
with the ORIC serving as a driver accelerator to produce radioactive
ion species that were then injected into and accelerated by the 25 - MV tandem.

with a compact air cooked low power 15 mwat argon
ion laser
beam (488nm), data analysis was conducted using DNA analysis program MODFIT (Topsham, USA).
An opportunity exists to work
with the Surrey
Ion Beam Centre as a Liaison Fellow in the application of ion beam analysis using RBS, PIXE and other complementary measuremen
