IBC Overview - Methods & Instrumentation

The ion beam center (IBC) at HZDR combines various machines (electrostatic accelerators, ion implanters, other ion- and plasma-based equipment) into an unique facility mainly used for ion beam modification and ion beam analysis of materials. The available energy range varies from 10 eV to almost 100 MeV with a respective interaction depth in solids between 0.1 nm and 10 µm. In addition to standard broad beams also focused (down to 1 nm) and highly-charged (charge state up to 45+) ions are provided.

A schematic overview of the IBC is shown on the following figure:
