About
The University of Manchester awarded a contract to Ionoptika Ltd for the Advanced Materials Enrichment and Synthesis (AMES) capability, providing isotopic enrichment and localised synthesis of materials via high-dose focused ion beam implantation, alongside doping of ion species with single-ion determinacy.
The capability will be housed within the Photon Science Institute at the University of Manchester and incorporated within the Henry Royce Institute as part of the existing Platform for Nanoscale Advanced Materials Engineering Facility.
AMES is funded by the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council grant application APP21442 and the University of Manchester.
