Short-pulse ion beams have been developed in recent years and now enable applications in materials science. A tunable flux of selected ions delivered in pulses of a few nanoseconds can affect the balance of defect formation and dynamic annealing in m...
Sputtering yields of Si have been measured for C60 ions in the energy range from 10 to 540 keV, where the nuclear stopping is dominant, by measuring thickness change of a pre-amorphized layer with conventional Rutherford-backscattering spectroscopy....
Three-dimensional laser scanning is a novel measurement technique that is frequently used for the documentation of cultural heritage (CH) objects. In the process of 3D scanning, one can obtain computing 3D models of artworks to be documented. It allo...
Laser–plasma proton sources and their applications to preclinical research has become a very active field of research in recent years. In addition to their small dimensions as compared to classical ion accelerators, they offer the possibility to stud...
This article is devoted to the study of the possibility of the passivation of iron-based metallic materials. The experimental results obtained for the laser treatment of carbon steel model samples by the radiation of repetitively pulsed and continuou...
In this review work, the passage of charged and neutral beams through dielectric capillary guides is described from a uniform point of view of beams channeling in capillaries. The motion of beams into the hollow channels formed by the inner walls of...
Rigorous peer-reviews are the basis of high-quality academic publishing [...]
This paper treats the characteristic topics of MeV/atom cluster ion beams produced using tandem accelerators both in the production stage and in the penetration stage from the viewpoint of fundamental processes. The former is related to atomic collis...
The ever-growing interest in additive manufacturing (AM) is evidenced by its extensive utilisation to manufacture a broad spectrum of products across a range of industries such as defence, medical, aerospace, automotive, and electronics. Today, most...
Quartz (SiO2) crystals possess intrinsic columnar pores perpendicular to (0001) surfaces, consisting of three- and six-membered ring (3MR and 6MR) structures of Si and O atoms. The diameters of the larger pores, i.e., 6 MRs, are ~0.49 nm, while the d...
To boost the science case of MIRACLES, the time-of-flight backscattering spectrometer at the European Spallation Source (ESS), an optimized neutron guide system, is proposed. This systematic study resulted in an enhancement in the transport of cold n...
Electron beam irradiation into type-Ib diamond is known as a good method for the creation of high concentration negatively-charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV−) centers by which highly sensitive quantum sensors can be fabricated. In order to understan...
Welcome to the Special Issue of Quantum Beam Science entitled “Modifications of Metallic and Inorganic Materials by Using Ion/Electron Beams” [...]
