Acquisition of Unique Nanoparticulat Ion Implanter to Discover and Develop New Ballistic Materials
Abstract
Rice University proposes acquiring a unique nanoparticulate ion implanter (NPlanterTM) toenable rapid fundamental studies, at the nanoscopic level, of the impact resistant properties ofadvance films and layered materials that are of interest to the DoD and to civilian law enforcement. The magnetron-based NPlanter creates negatively charged nanoparticles of various metals and semiconductors, ranging from 2-20nm in diameter, with narrow size distributions, which are size-selected by a quadrupole filter and electronically steered to uniformly impinge on a surface up to 5 x 5 cm.
