Ion beams are extensively used in many scientific and technological applications. These applications range from very basic research in nuclear and atomic physics, intended to understand the nature and properties of matter, to applied work in materials physics to synthesize, modify, process, and characterize materials for high tech applications (for example: ion implantation is used in the production of about every integrated circuit, microprocessor, or memory chip). Ion beams are used in a variety of less conventional modes as well, for example, in the analysis of pieces of art and archeological artifacts, for geological and environmental studies, to characterize biological specimens, to propel rockets, and much more.
