Ion implantation by isotope separator on line (ISOL) of indium isotopes

111In has been known as the nuclide which is most suitable to perturbed angular correlation (PAC) process, as the life of its intermediate state is long , the half life is proper in view of the measurement and radiation control, and it is easily available as its chloride is on the market. In the PAC, it is necessary to introduce this probe nuclei into samples. The most simple method is diffusion process, but in the materials, of which the solid-solubility of In is low like Fe and Si, the introduction is very difficult, therefore, it is necessary to do ion implantation. The development of this process was tried, and the results are reported. For the experiment, the ISOL in the cyclotron RI center, Tohoku University, was used as the accelerator for the implantation. The experimental method is explained. As the results, in the case of nonradioactive In implantation, the Ruthereford back scattering (RBS) spectra of the Si in which In was implanted, the spectra when the channeling condition was satisfied, and the results of measuring the angle dependence of channeling for In and In-implanted Si are shown. In the case of the ion implantation of radioactive 111In, the energy spectra of In-implanted Si, the PAC spectra of In-implanted Si samples, and the PAC spectra for pure iron and Fe-Si alloy are shown. The further improvement of the ion sources is necessary. (K.I.)
