Available ion beam analysis techniques at the Ion Beam Center
In principle all elements of the periodic table can be analysed by ion beam analysis (IBA). Which method to choose for a particular problem, dependents on the actual matter of interest.
Typical application field of ion beam analysis are amongst others:
- Semiconductor materials
- Solar cells
- Glasses
- Metals
- Special and compound materials
- Coatings
- Biomedical materials
- Arts and cultural heritage
- Geological samples
- Archaeometry
We are glad to counsult you.
