Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) is an established tool for material characterization, providing precise information on elemental composition, depth profiles, and structural information in the region near the surface of materials. However,…
Radiation damage induced by ion beams is traditionally treated at different levels of theoretical approaches, for the different scales and mechanisms involved.We present here details of a combined approach that, from a method at a…
Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) comprises a set of analytical techniques suited for material analysis, many of which are rather closely related. Self-consistent analysis of several IBA techniques takes advantage of this close relationship to…
A new methodology for fundamental studies of radiation effects in solids is herein introduced by using a plasma Focused Ion Beam (PFIB). The classical example of ion-induced amorphization of single-crystalline pure Si is used as a…
The rapid interaction of highly energetic particle beams with matter induces dynamic responses in the impacted component. If the beam pulse is sufficiently intense, extreme conditions can be reached, such as very high pressures, changes of…
Over the past decade, interval arithmetic (IA) has been utilized to determine tolerance bounds of phased array beampatterns. IA only requires that the errors of the array elements are bounded, and can provide reliable beampattern bounds…
The Ion Beam Induced Charge (IBIC) technique is widely used to characterize the electronic properties of semiconductor materials and devices. Its main advantage over other charge collection microscopies stems in the use of MeV ion probes,…
Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is a key quantity for the description of radiobiological effects induced by charged-particle irradiation in the context of ion-beam cancer therapy. Since RBE is a complex function that depends on…

Focused ion beam (FIB) techniques are employed widely for nanofabrication, and processing of materials and devices. However, ion irradiation often gives rise to severe damage due to atomic displacements that cause defect formation,…
Ion accelerators have been used by material scientists for decades to investigate radiation damage formation in nuclear materials and thus to emulate neutron-induced changes. The versatility of conditions in terms of particle energy, dose…
The beam-ion interaction is a potential limitation of beam performance in electron accelerators, especially where the beam emittance is of a great concern in future ultra-low emittance light source. "Conventionally", the beam instability…
