Abstract

Abstract HyperionTM is a newly developed high-performance ion source that significantly advances the capabilities of many ion beam techniques used by material scientists and engineers. Hyperion has been developed to provide focused beams as small as 10 nm, beam currents up to several micro-Amps, and a broad range of ion species that include He+, O2 +, Xe+ and H3 +.
