Project objective
Liquid metal ion sources (LMIS) are point sources having a high angular intensity. Therefore, they are applied to focused ion beam (FIB) systems. The use of FIB systems using atomic ions is well known, but there has been very little work to date on focused clusters from LMIS. The investigation of clusters from ferromagnetic materials is of much interest for basic research as well as for applications in nanoscale magnetic devices and electronics and for new catalytic compounds. The project is concerned with the formation of clusters from ferromagnetic materials by LMIS, their deposition using a high energy ion optical column with ExB mass filter and the investigation of their physical properties. An attempt will also be made to form permanent magnetic microstructures using the high energy focused cluster beam.
