Infrastructure at the Tandem Laboratory

The Tandem Laboratory offers a unique infrastructure equipped with accelerators for advanced materials analysis and modification.

View from the switching magnet position into the experimental hall of the Tandem Laboratory. Six beamlines extend into the room. Their most distinct feature are green and red magnets.

The Tandem Laboratory provides broad capabilities in accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), ion beam materials analysis (IBA) and ion beam modification of materials (IBMM).

Four particle accelerators deliver ions to in total eleven end stations enabling a plethora of different techniques. Accelerator-based methods are complemented by a number of smaller set-ups providing further possibilities for sample preparation and analysis as well as material growth.

Publication: Ion beam tools at the Tandem Laboratory

An overview of available ion sources and accelerators at the Tandem Laboratory is given in this publication from 2022.

In this work, we highlight capabilities for in-situ and in-operando composition depth profiling and materials modification developed with the instrumentation at the Tandem Laboratory.
