Energy deposition by heavy ions: Additivity of kinetic and potential energy contributions in hillock formation on CaF2
Y. Y. Wang, C. Grygiel, C. Dufour +17
The formation of nano-hillocks on CaF2 crystal surfaces by individual ion impact has been studied using medium energy (3 and 5 MeV) highly charged ions (Xe19+ to Xe30+) as well as…
Flux pinning in (1111) iron-pnictide superconducting crystals
C. J. van der Beek, G. Rizza, M. Konczykowski +14
Local magnetic measurements are used to quantitatively characterize heterogeneity and flux line pinning in PrFeAsO_1-y and NdFeAs(O,F) superconducting single crystals. In spite of…
Online in-situ X-ray diffraction setup for structural modification studies during swift heavy ion irradiation
C. Grygiel, H. Lebius, S. Bouffard +8
The high energy density of electronic excitations due to the impact of swift heavy ions can induce structural modifications in materials. We present a X-ray diffractometer called A…
SPORT: A new sub-nanosecond time-resolved instrument to study swift heavy ion-beam induced luminescence - Application to luminescence degradation of a fast plastic scintillator
E. Gardés, E. Balanzat, B. Ban-d'Etat +8
We developed a new sub-nanosecond time-resolved instrument to study the dynamics of UV-visible luminescence under high stopping power heavy ion irradiation. We applied our instrume…
Unzipping graphene: Extendend defects by ion irradiation
S. Akcöltekin, H. Bukowska, T. Peters +6
Many of the proposed future applications of graphene require the controlled introduction of defects into its perfect lattice. Energetic ions provide one way of achieving this chall…
Irradiation Facilities and Irradiation Methods for High Power Target
F. Pellemoine, C. Barbier, Y. Sun +38
High Power Target systems are key elements in future neutrino and other rare particle production in accelerators. These systems transform an intense source of protons into secondar…
