Article: Investigators at Catholic University release new data on applied physics.

According to a study from Santiago, Chile, "We report the investigation of high energy ion beam irradiation on titanium (Ti) substrates at room temperature using a low energy plasma focus (PF) device operating in methane gas. The surface modifications induced by the ion beam using two different anode materials, graphite and copper, are characterized using standard surface science diagnostic tools, such as x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, Raman spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy."

"It has been found that the interaction of the pulsed PF ion beams, with characteristic energy in the 15-300 keV range, with ...
