Abstract
Surrey Ion Beam Centre: the EPSRC “MRF” for Ion Beam Applications
Highlights
Total IBA [11] has been developed from DataFurnace and is a very powerful new ion beam analysis characterisation technique enabling the unambiguous depth profiling of very complex thin films, and in principle making chemical tomography of small samples feasible
Over the years the Surrey Ion Beam Centre (SIBC) has developed its portfolio of industrial users
The charge on the ion enables the ion beam to be raster scanned across a target producing a very uniform spread across the sample under irradiation
Summary
The Surrey Ion Beam Centre (SIBC) has been sponsored as a National Centre for research in the UK since 1978. The SIBC works actively with industry, developing bespoke processes and services, for the photonics industry and provides ion beam facilities to ~20 companies across the world. The IBC has used the capabilities afforded by its DataFurnace algorithm to initiate work with Forensic service providers, the police and Home Office and similar establishments across mainland Europe This has led to ion beam techniques being recognised as potentially of use for high impact crime cases. Total IBA [11] has been developed from DataFurnace and is a very powerful new ion beam analysis characterisation technique enabling the unambiguous depth profiling of very complex thin films, and in principle making chemical tomography of small samples feasible This new method, which we have been instrumental in developing, fully exploits the complementary information available from the photon and particle methods.
