Ion Beam Centre
We are a national facility supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) that sit within the Advanced Technology Institute. Our centre allows users to undertake a wide variety of research using ion implantation, ion irradiation and ion beam analysis. We also have extensive processing and characterisation facilities that can be made available to our customers.
The Surrey Ion Beam Centre have developed further information and resources on their Surrey Ion Beam Centre microsite.
Our aims
- To promote and facilitate world class research in the field of ion beam applications, especially for the UK academic, commercial and industrial communities, but also for and with our international collaborators
