摘要: Summary The success of the helium ion microscope has encouraged extensions this technology to produce beams other species. A review various candidate and their technical prospects suggest that a neon beam might be most readily achieved. Such would provide sputtering yield exceeds by an order magnitude while still offering theoretical probe size less than 1-nm. This article outlines motivation for gas field source, expected performance through simulations, provides update our experimental progress. SCANNING 33: 129–134, 2012. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
