Centro de Microanálisis de Materiales (CMAM) is a multidisciplinary research facility integrated within the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), and is running since November 2002.
The main purpose of our research center is to enhance the Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) and Ion Beam Modification of Materials (IBMM) techniques for their use in a broad range of fields, from Materials Science to Archaeometry or Environmental Science, areas of scientific research on which IBA techniques have already proven their power. For this purpose, the principal facility of the center is a 5MV terminal voltage tandetron accelerator.
The standard techniques already working in our laboratories are: Rutherford Backscattering (RBS), Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), Particle Induced Gamma Emission (PIGE), Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) and Ion Channeling with RBS (RBSC). Nevertheless, one aim of our research center is to develop new techniques and instrumentation such as ERDA with Time of Flight (ERDA-ToF), Ionoluminescence, a novel Magnetic Spectrograph, etc.
CMAM is a member of the Laboratories Network of the Comunidad de Madrid region, classified under level 3 (Proceedings)
