Facilities

In addition to the growing number of central facilities available  at Harvard, Professor Golovchenko has helped provide a number of special capabilities that his student, postdocs and collaborators  utilize often in connection with their research.

Tandem Ion Accelerator Laboratory

The Tandem Ion Accelerator provides ion beams in the energy range 0.15 - 3.5 MeV for use in condensed matter and materials science investigations.  A beam line exist where Rutherford Backscattering (RBS), Ion Channeling and Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Ion Implantation studies can be carried out at ~10^-7 torr pressures.  A second beam line has a scattering chamber in the 10^-10 torr range where processes connected with crystal growth by molecular beam epitaxy are studied.  The accelerator is called the Cambridge Accelerator for Materials Science and its operation is funded by the Harvard MRSEC grant from the NSF.  John Chervinsky (photo) is the engineer in charge of operations.
