Development and characterization of an iodine field emission ion source for FIB applications

Emission of positive and negative ions is possible when a room temperature molten salt, or ionic liquid, is exposed to a sufficiently high electric field. Ionic liquid ion sources (ILIS) have shown potential to be used in various focused ion beam (FIB) applications, since their operation and charact...
