Many materials science applications require high fluence ion implantation. Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII) is a technique in which the target to be implanted is immersed in the plasma, and implanted using negative-polarity high-voltage pulses. PIII has many applications including advanced semiconductor processing [1], photonic devices [2-3], ion implantation of advanced materials such...
Short-pulse, laser-solid interactions provide a unique platform for studying complex high-energy-density (HED) matter. HED matter exists in extreme states of temperature and density, producing conditions comparable to those found within astrophysical environments. Elucidating the relationship between temperature, pressure, and density in HED environments is critical for understanding the...
Plasma fusion devices will require plasma-facing components (PFCs) which can withstand the extreme environment at the edge of a hot fusion plasma [1]. Studies of materials suitability for fusion PFCs require experiments that can simulate the ion bombardment associated with fusion edge plasmas [2-3]. High fluence ion implantation is one tool for this purpose. The Bradley group at the University...
Dusty or complex plasmas is a branch of plasma physics that aims to investigate the interactions between a plasma and solid particles with a size ranging from nanometers to micrometers. Most of the available studies have addressed these interactions under low pressure conditions. Currently, there is a lot of interest to process micrometer particles, e.g. in mining industry, and the plasma...
