    Abstract

    A radioisotope ion implanter has been developed using a cesium-sputtering, negative ion source, which offers versatility and sustained operation. Employing the molecular 111In16O- ion, μCi activities of the radioisotope probe 111In/Cd have been implanted into different material hosts. The implanted tracer activity has been shown to be sufficient for LTNO, NMRON and PAC. A new NMRON resonance for 111InAg was observed at 75.08 MHz. In2O3 powder performed well as the radioisotope carrier in the ion source, with the ratio of radioisotope and parasitic ion current being typically 4 × 10-4.
