Atomic Collisions Laboratory (LCA)Ion -Solid Interactions and Energy Loss Phenomena The research activity of this group focuses on the study of the interaction of ions with solids at low energies. The main objective is to study experimentally the ion energy loss processes on metallics thin films. On the other hand, we study the electronic structure of metals from ab initio calculations and we have developed computational codes for simulate ion solid interactions with semiclassical approaches. |
 LCAThe facilities of the Atomic Collisions Laboratory are comprised of a UHV chamber for ion-solid interaction experiments. The chamber is pumped via an ion pump backed by a turbo pumps and the vacuum is improved with a Ti sublimation pump. This system includes a Colutron type hot catode ion... Read More |
