The Louisiana Accelerator Center (LAC) at the University of
Louisiana at Lafayette is recognized as a Research Center by the
Louisiana Board of Regents with active research programs emphasizing
biomaterials analysis, microfabrication and high energy focused
ion beam system development.
The Center has more than 12,000 sq. ft. of laboratory, machine
shop and office space and has a large research equipment inventory
including a National Electrostatics Corporation 5SDH-2 1.7 MV tandem
PelletronR accelerator with duoplasmatron, radio-frequency and
cesium sputtering negative ion sources, an Oxford Microbeam Systems
triplet lens ion beam focusing system and two JEOL (models 840
and 6460LV) Scanning Electron Microscopes. Three beamlines
on the PelletronR accelerator are used for ion beam analysis, ion
beam modification, and high energy focused ion beam microscopy
to provide a variety of ion beam techniques using MeV ion beams
with spot sizes smaller than as 1 µm x 1 µm.
