What Does HIMP Stand For?

HIMP stands for Heavy Ion Microprobe

HIMP, or Heavy Ion Microprobe, is a specialized analytical tool that employs focused beams of heavy ions to investigate the composition and structure of materials at a micro-scale. It enables high-resolution imaging and precise elemental mapping, making it a valuable technique in fields such as materials science, geology, and semiconductor research. By utilizing the unique interactions of heavy ions with matter, HIMP provides insights into the distribution of elements and the characterization of complex materials.
