A medium energy facility for variable temperature implantation and analysis

Heterogeneous irradiation-induced copper precipitation in ferritic iron–copper model alloys

“…1). Combining both techniques (ion implantation and 3D atom probe [8,9]) a large set of parameters (nature of incident ion, ion energy, dose, dose rate, specimen temperature, . .…”

“…may be controlled and the effect of each may be evaluated. The specimens for this work were irradiated in the ion accelerator of the Mass Spectroscopy and Nuclear Spectroscopy Centre (CSNSM) -Orsay France [8]. It must be noted that, due to the high value of fluxes (corresponding to a damage rate (dpa s À1 ) of 1.26 · 10 À4 in this work), available using ion implanters, the aging conditions are different from irradiation conditions for RPV steels (damage rate (dpa s À1 ) of about 5 · 10 À10 ).…”

Stability of nanometer-sized oxide clusters in mechanically-alloyed steel under ion-induced displacement cascade damage conditions

“…2, where the computed 150 keV ion range and analysis volume have been superimposed on a transmission electron micrograph (TEM) image of a typical atom probe specimen. The specimens were irradiated in the medium energy ion accelerator (IRMA) of the Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Spectrometry Center (CSNSM)-Orsay, France [21,22] with a controlled 150 keV iron ion beam. The irradiation parameters are reported in Table 1.…”

Irradiation-induced Ag nanocluster nucleation in silicate glasses: Analogy with photography

“…In order to evaluate Ag species mobility, we implanted Ag into our base sodalime silicate glass with the IRMA-CSNSM facility [43], at 480 keV to a fluence of 10 15 ions.cm …”
