    Detection of small bunches of ions using image charges
    (London : Nature Publishing Group, 2018) Räcke, Paul; Spemann, Daniel; Gerlach, Jürgen W.; Rauschenbach, Bernd; Meijer, Jan
    A concept for detection of charged particles in a single fly-by, e.g. within an ion optical system for deterministic implantation, is presented. It is based on recording the image charge signal of ions moving through a detector, comprising a set of cylindrical electrodes. This work describes theoretical and practical aspects of image charge detection (ICD) and detector design and its application in the context of real time ion detection. It is shown how false positive detections are excluded reliably, although the signal-to-noise ratio is far too low for time-domain analysis. This is achieved by applying a signal threshold detection scheme in the frequency domain, which - complemented by the development of specialised low-noise preamplifier electronics - will be the key to developing single ion image charge detection for deterministic implantation.

    Magnetic patterning of Co/Ni layered systems by plasma oxidation
    ([London] : Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature, 2022) Anastaziak, Błażej; Andrzejewska, Weronika; Schmidt, Marek; Matczak, Michał; Soldatov, Ivan; Schäfer, Rudolf; Lewandowski, Mikołaj; Stobiecki, Feliks; Janzen, Christian; Ehresmann, Arno; Kuświk, Piotr
    We studied the structural, chemical, and magnetic properties of Ti/Au/Co/Ni layered systems subjected to plasma oxidation. The process results in the formation of NiO at the expense of metallic Ni, as clearly evidenced by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, while not affecting the surface roughness and grain size of the Co/Ni bilayers. Since the decrease of the thickness of the Ni layer and the formation of NiO increase the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, oxidation may be locally applied for magnetic patterning. Using this approach, we created 2D heterostructures characterized by different combinations of magnetic properties in areas modified by plasma oxidation and in the regions protected from oxidation. As plasma oxidation is an easy to use, low cost, and commonly utilized technique in industrial applications, it may constitute an improvement over other magnetic patterning methods.
