Outline of Final Research Achievements

We worked on the development of a 3-dimensional visualization technique for the distribution and concentration of the main constituent molecules on the surface and interface of organic/inorganic hybrid materials. In this work, using a high-intensity swift C60 ion beam and a highly accurate electrostatic quadrupole lens, we succeeded in focusing the swift C60 ion beam to a diameter of about 1um for the first time in the world. The time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) was used as the analysis method. By using swift C60 ions, which have an extremely high spatter yield, as the primary ions of SIMS, it becomes possible to perform highly accurate analysis of main molecules of polymer materials, which was difficult with conventional ion beams. Demonstration measurements for inorganic materials, shown that the two-dimensional imaging of the molecular distributions constituting the materials can be obtained with high resolution at the micro-scale.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、世界初となるMeVエネルギーの高速C60イオンビームのマイクロビーム化に成功した。本研究成果は、機能性高分子材料等の高度分析を可能にするものであり、SIMSの発展に貢献すると同時に、高速C60イオンビームの産業利用を実現するものである。また、新規材料開発のみならず、分子生物学、創薬研究、病理診断など幅広い分野において不可欠な分子分布分析を高度化することで、様々な産業に貢献することが期待される。
