14 GHz ECRIS, MIVOC method
Record Fe ion beams, shown in the table, were produced with the JYFL 14 GHz ECRIS using MIVOC method with commercially available natFe(C5H5)2 (Ferrocene). Ion source was optimised for Fe11+. Material Safety Data Sheets for safe use of Ferrocene can be found from here .

Acceleration voltage: 10 kV (JYFL extraction system)
Material consumption: The material consumption was not measured in the experiment resulting in record intensities. Couple of months later the consumption rate of 1 mg/h for the enriched 54Fe was measured. In this experiment the intensity of 52 µA (54Fe11+) was extracted from the JYFL 14 GHz ECRIS. The intensity was not maximised. The main goal was to meet the intensity requirement, with minimum material consumption, and to produce a stable beam. The enriched MIVOC compound (54Fe(C5H5)2) was synthesised at JYFL for the experiment.
