The HVEM-Tandem National User Facility consists of a modified Kratos/AEI EM7 HVEM with maximum accelerating voltage of 1.2 MeV, interfaced to both a 2 MV National Electrostatics Tandem ion accelerator and a 300 kV Texas Nuclear ion accelerator. The latter is being replaced with a 650 kV National Electrostatics accelerator which should be fully operational in FY 87. These accelerators provide a side range of ion species with energies from 25 keV to 8 MeV. The combination of HVEM and ion accelerators provides truly unique capability for ion irradiation/implantation experimentation along with simultaneous microscopy. The HVEM-Tandem Facility currently is employed for a wide range of materials research, including basic in situ studies of mechanical properties, oxidation and hydrogen effects in metals, radiation effects including ion and electron irradiation-induced phase changes and general defect analysis. More than half of these studies are conducted by non-ANL scientists from universities and other national laboratories. Access to the National User Facility is by means of research proposals which are reviewed by a Steering Committee composed of both Argonne and non-Argonne scientists representing the user community.
