The laboratory contains a large variety of surface analysis and surface modification equipment. The centerpiece of the analysis equipment is a unique surface analysis instrument, combining -
- a scanning Auger multi-probe with a 500 angstrom spot size,
- a quadrupole SIMS with oxygen injection,
- a double-pass non-scanning Auger electron spectrometer,
- and a twin anode X-ray photoelectron spectrometer.

Associated with the above analysis techniques are two ion beam sputter guns capable of running a variety of gases, and a charge neutralization system. All are contained in single vacuum chamber that is kept at pressures in the low -10 Torr region and is equipped with a residual gas analyzer.
This analysis system has a very sophisticated and modern computer interface, designed and installed by RBD Enterprises.
For surface modification we offer a Varian CF-3000 cryo-pumped ion implanter with extensive modification to the ion source, allowing it to produce ion beams from almost any element in the periodic table. The analysis section of the implanter has a resolution greater than one amu through 130amu. It is equipped with a dose processor and uniformity monitor. The laboratory specialized in production of exotic metal ion-beams. Projects have included forensic applications, biomedical research, and research into the production of catalysts through the use of exotic ion beams.
