JANNuS-SCALP
IJCLab's JANNuS-SCALP platform in Orsay brings together different machines in a single facility mainly used for ion beam modification of materials (implantation/irradiation), ion beam analysis of materials and production of high isotopic purity targets.
It is composed of JANNuS-Orsay:
and SIDONIE, the high-resolution isotope separator. The facility benefits from many years of technical and scientific expertise and uses numerous dedicated machines and workstations, providing ion beams of most stable elements in a wide energy range from 50 eV to 11 MeV and in a temperature range from -170°C to 1000°C on the target.
The particularities of the platform are the in situ techniques available for material structure and chemical characterization, unique in the world:
The scientific themes benefiting from this platform are diverse, including nuclear materials, materials for microelectronics, nuclear astrophysics, health physics and geology.
The JANNuS-SCALP platform has been offering its services to academic research players and companies for more than 30 years, and has been identified as an IN2P3 platform in 2018. Since 2005, JANNuS-Orsay has been closely linked to the CEA's JANNuS-Saclay triple ion beam facility (DES/ISAS/DMN/SRMP) through the JANNuS Scientific Interest Group (GIS), the Joint Accelerators for Nanoscience and Nuclear Simulation. JANNuS is also a founding member of the French federation of gas pedals for irradiation and analysis of molecules and materials EMIR&A.
Developments and improvements are continuously needed to keep the facility at its best level. A new goniometer was installed in 2015 thanks to funding from LabEx P2IO and the Master's in Nuclear Energy. This new device, an indispensable tool for RBS/C experiments to determine the structural imperfections of crystalline materials, is also used by Master students at the University of Paris-Saclay (UFR Sciences, Polytech Paris-Saclay).
