Ion implantation to ceramics.

Ion-Exchange in Glass-Ceramics

In the past few years, ion-exchange (IOX) in glasses has found a renewed interest with a lot of new development and research in industrial and academic labs and the commercialization of materials with outstanding mechanical properties. These glasses are now widely used in many electronic devices, including hand-held displays and tablets. The exchange is generally conducted in a bath of molten s...

Introductory Chapter: Introduction to Ion Implantation

Graphene synthesis by ion implantation.

We demonstrate an ion implantation method for large-scale synthesis of high quality graphene films with controllable thickness. Thermally annealing polycrystalline nickel substrates that have been ion implanted with carbon atoms results in the surface growth of graphene films whose average thickness is controlled by implantation dose. The graphene film quality, as probed with Raman and electric...

Transport System for Ion Implantation

ITEP in collaboration with MEPHI and HCEI (Tomsk) develops the high intensity ion beam generation and transport systems for low energy (1 – 50 keV) ion implantation. Such facilities are used for semiconductor technology. The Bernas type ion source is used for the ribbon ion beam production. The periodical system of electrostatic lenses (electrostatic undulator) was proposed for ribbon beam tran...
