Multiple ion beam facilities are powerful tools to simulate the irradiation effects of neutrons on relevant nuclear materials. Since hydrogen and helium are often generated in neutron irradiated materials as transmutation products and they play important roles in the defect evolution, the triple beam accelerator and transmission electron microscope link in situ facility instead of a monobeam or dual-beam facility is necessary to simulate neutron irradiation. A hydrogen-helium dual-beam ion implanter has been developed for a triple ion beam in situ facility at Xiamen University. A Penning ion source has been developed to produce H and He simultaneously. A special system consisting of two Wien filters and an Einzel lens has been proposed to purify the species from a single Penning source and allow for the measurement of the He/H ratio, without disturbing the accelerator settings. The detail of this dual-beam ion implanter will be introduced in detail.

The structural studies of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterostructures and understanding of their relationship with the orientation of crystalline substrates using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) presents a challenge in developing an easy-to-use plan-view specimen preparation technique. In this report, we introduce a simple approach for high-quality plan-view specimen preparation utilizing a dual beam system comprising focused ion beam and scanning electron microscopy. To protect the atomically thin 2D heterostructure during the preparation process, we employ an epoxy layer.

2D materials are emerging as promising nanomaterials for applications in energy storage and catalysis. In the wet chemical synthesis of MXenes, these 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides are terminated with a variety of functional groups, and cations such as Li+ are often used to intercalate into the structure to obtain exfoliated nanosheets. Given the various elements involved in their synthesis, it is crucial to determine the detailed chemical composition of the final product, in order to better assess and understand the relationships between composition and properties of these materials.

The automation of the atom probe tomography (APT) tip preparation using a focused ion beam (FIB) with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) dual-beam system will certainly contribute to systematic APT research with higher throughput and reliability. While our previous work established a method to prepare tips with a specified tip curvature and taper angle automatically, by using script-controlled FIB/SEM, the technique has been expanded to automated "site-specific" tip preparation in the current work. The improved procedure can automatically detect not only the tip shape but also the interface position in the tip; thus, the new function allows for control of the tip apex position.

The large diameter of the probe beam resulted in a slow thermal effect (∼dozens of milliseconds) two orders of magnitude larger than the electronic one, improving the discrimination of both competitive effects. All thermal and electronic parameters are obtained from transient signals modeled by an analytical equation, valid for small phase shifts in the absence of upconversion effects.

Radioprotective agents hold clinical promises to counteract off-target adverse effects of radiation and benefit radiotherapeutic outcomes, yet the inability to control drug transport in human organs poses a leading limitation. Based upon a validated rank-based multigene signature model, radiosensitivity indices are evaluated of diverse normal organs as a genomic predictor of radiation susceptibility. Selective ORgan-Targeting (SORT) hafnium oxide nanoparticles (HfO NPs) are rationally designed via modulated synthesis by α-lactalbumin, homing to top vulnerable organs.
