In the ever-evolving landscape of ion beam-assisted manufacturing technologies, precise characterization of ion sources is pivotal. A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Physics highlights the critical role of the Hiden EQP mass spectrometer in the...
The features and characteristics of solids are largely dependent on their chemical structure at the surface. Surface analysis is used to determine the chemical structure of the surface atomic layer (a shallow and thin area of the surface). Surface analysis instruments...
In materials science, a surface interface refers to the boundary region between air (or a vacuum) and physical media. The atomic composition and topography of a solid’s surface monolayer can determine many of the chemical-mechanical characteristics of the bulk...
The field of Nanotechnology encompasses applications in the research and development of matter at the molecular, macromolecular, or atomic scale – with dimensions in the order of 1-100 nanometers. At this scale materials exhibit different quantum mechanical properties...
