Production of metal ion beams from DECRIS-3 ion source.

The article describes the experiments carried out during last years at the accelerator complex DC-60 of Astana branch of the INP (Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan Republic), to provide intense ion beams of metals with the use of volatile organometallic compounds (Metal Ions from Volatile Compounds) – MIVOC. As a result of performed work for the first time at DC-60 cyclotron a beams of nickel, iron, silicon, cobalt, chromium, titanium, germanium and hafnium ions were produced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
