Enhanced Physicochemical and Biological Properties of Ion-Implanted Titanium Using Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources

The surface properties of metallic implants play an important role in their clinical success. Improving upon the inherent shortcomings of Ti implants, such as poor bioactivity, is imperative for achieving clinical use. In this study, we have developed a Ti implant modified with Ca or dual Ca + Si ions on the surface using an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS). The physicochemical a...

Electron cyclotron resonance ion sources – physics, technology and future challenges

The performance of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS), producing high charge state ions from a great variety of elements, has improved dramatically over the past decades, thus enabling significant advances in accelerator-based nuclear physics. The orderof-magnitude performance leaps of ECR ion sources, e.g. from 15 μA of extracted O in 1974 [1] to 4700 μA in 2016 [2], result from ...
