Objective
In continuation of transnational user access programs funded under FP4 and FP5, AIM is devoted to transnational European user access for application-oriented materials research and services using ion beams. It will be open for scientific studies and for the implementation of ion beam technologies in industry. The infrastructure offers a variety of devices for ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of solid surfaces, embedded in a strong materials science environment, thus constituting a unique facility in Europe. Fields of application cover R&D areas such as electronic and magnetic materials, biomaterials and polymers, and materials, which are resistant against mechanical wear or chemical attack all areas where ion beams act as powerful nanotechnological tools.
The infrastructure combines 3 electrostatic accelerators with ion energies up to ~50MeV, 3 ion implanters providing ions at sub-keV to MeV energies, and devices for ion beam, plasma assisted thin film deposition and plasma-based ion implantation and a focused ion beam apparatus. Partly unique special facilities include simultaneous ion implantation from 2 accelerators, high-resolution ion-beam analysis, and real-time, in-situ process diagnostics by means of ion-beam analysis. At least 250 shifts of each 8hrs beam time will be offered to AIM Users annually.
Users will be supported by the scientific and technical staff of the infrastructure during planning, performance, evaluation and interpretation of the experiments. Preferential access will be given to new Users of the infrastructure, projects involving young scientists, and Users from countries where similar ion beam facilities are unavailable. Users from the new member states and candidate states are expected to share are large fraction of the access being offered.
