Obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of the Charged Nanoparticles by<br />

Means of the Po<strong>in</strong>t Ion Source<br />

Description<br />

The means of disperse phase of the po<strong>in</strong>t ion source have<br />

been used for obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of the charged nanoparticles. The<br />

source represents the compact graphite conta<strong>in</strong>er with the<br />

work<strong>in</strong>g matter <strong>in</strong>side of which a th<strong>in</strong> high-melt<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>t is<br />

bulged out. The smelt matter wets a surface of po<strong>in</strong>t. Sizes<br />

of generated nanodroplets determ<strong>in</strong>ed by means of electron<br />

<strong>and</strong> AFM microscopes compose cont<strong>in</strong>uous spectrum<br />

from 2 nm up to 20 nm. The number of particles of least<br />

size on three orders of magnitude exceeds number of particles<br />

of the greatest size. The In, Sn, NiAlB have been<br />

used as work<strong>in</strong>g matters at carry<strong>in</strong>g out of our experiments.<br />

It is possible the creation of various surface quantum structures<br />

by means of these nanoparticles. Energy of the<br />

charged nanoparticles can be regulated by means of an<br />

electric field. Nanoparticles of <strong>in</strong>tr<strong>in</strong>sic semiconductors <strong>and</strong><br />

their compounds can be obta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> the modified design of<br />

a source with a porous po<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

Innovative Aspects <strong>and</strong> Ma<strong>in</strong> Advantages<br />

Nanoparticles are obta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> a ready k<strong>in</strong>d; it is not necessary<br />

to spend a long time to form them; speeds <strong>and</strong> trajectories<br />

of particles are manageable; it is possible the<br />

separation of particles <strong>in</strong> the sizes by means of the massanalyzer.<br />

It is also possible an arrangement of nanoparticles<br />

on required coord<strong>in</strong>ates of the substrate’s surface by<br />

means of probe manipulator after their deposition.<br />

Areas of Application<br />

Nanotechnology, ion-plasma technology, th<strong>in</strong>-film electronics.<br />

Stage of Development<br />

Laboratory tested technology of obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of the ions <strong>and</strong><br />

nanoparticles of semiconductor materials.<br />
