Producing multicharged fullerene ion beam extracted from the second stage of tandem-type ECRIS

We have been constructing the tandem-type electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS). Two ion sources of the tandem-type ECRIS are possible to generate plasma individually, and they also confined individual ion species by each different plasma parameter. Hence, it is considered to be suitable for new materials production. As the first step, we try to produce and extract multicharged C₆₀ ions by supplying pure C₆₀ vapor in the second stage plasma because our main target is producing the endohedral fullerenes. We developed a new evaporator to supply fullerene vapor, and we succeeded in observation about multicharged C₆₀ ion beam in tandem-type ECRIS for the first time
