Ion sources and neutral beam injection (NBI) systems lie at the heart of modern plasma physics research, providing a controlled means to generate and manipulate charged particles for plasma heating ...
The new Extended Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will have more intensity than its predecessor, delivering up to 40 percent more gold beam into the ...
What is Focused Ion Beam Milling? Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a nanofabrication technique that uses a focused beam of ions to precisely mill, etch, or deposit materials at the nanoscale. It ...
In recent decades, the preparation of samples for transmission electron microscopes has transformed, thanks to the introduction of focused ion beam (FIB) instruments. Known as either single-beam or ...
A single gold nanorod, far smaller than a wavelength of visible light, can be coaxed into emitting circularly polarized radiation simply by nudging the electron beam that excites it a few nanometers ...
