An ion source for generating an ion beam containing aluminum ions is disclosed. The ion source includes a first gas source to introduce an organoaluminium compound into the arc chamber of the ion source. A second gas, different from the first gas, which is a chlorine-containing gas is also introduced to the arc chamber. The chloride co-flow reduces the buildup of decomposition material that occurs within the arc chamber. This buildup may occur at the gas bushing, the extraction aperture or near the repeller. In some embodiments, the second gas is introduced continuously. In other embodiments, the second gas is periodically introduced, based on hours of operation or the measured uniformity of the extracted ion beam. The second gas may be introduced from second gas source or from a vaporizer.

Ion source for controlling decomposition buildup using chlorine co-gas

An ion source that may be used to introduce a dopant material into the arc chamber is disclosed. A component containing the dopant material is disposed in the path of an etching gas, which also enters the arc chamber. In some embodiments, the dopant material is in liquid form, and the etching gas travels through the liquid. In other embodiments, the dopant material is a solid material. In some embodiments, the solid material is formed as a porous structure, such that the etching gas flows through the solid material. In other embodiments, one or more components of the ion source are manufactured using a material that includes the dopant material, such that the etching gas etches the component to release the dopant material.

System and method for introducing aluminum to an ion source

Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to ultraweak photon emission imaging systems and methods. In some embodiments, a method comprises acquiring an ultraweak photon emission image of a target area of a patient for detection of a pathological condition; wherein the target area comprises an area of interest and a portion surrounding the area of interest, wherein acquiring the image comprises: enhancing formation of reactive oxygen species and/or reactive nitrogen species in the target area, wherein enhancing formation of the reactive oxygen species and/or the reactive nitrogen species comprises applying low level light illumination to the target area from 1 second to 60 minutes so as to achieve a total power output from 1 mW to 10,000 W using an average power density from 0.1 W/cmto 1 W/cm; and imaging the target area, wherein imaging the target area comprises a total exposure time from 1 second to 60 minutes.
