In the ATOMKI ECRIS Laboratory long-term projects were initiated to use heavy ion beams and plasmas for materials research and to explore the possibility of industrial or medical applications of such ions. (1) Based on our earlier experiments with fullerenes and on recent considerable modification of the ATOMKI-ECRIS a collaboration with Japanese institutes resulted in a new ECR-device to produce endohedral fullerenes, namely caged Fe in C60. (2) Titanium bio-implants are covered with fullerene ions to form an intermediate layer between the metal and the organic tissues in order to improve the speed and properties of the connection. Bone cells growth experiments are under way. (3) Laser and electron irradiations showed that the structure and properties (volume, refractive index) of certain amorphous thin films can be effectively modified. We extend these investigations using heavy ion beams, focusing on the effect of the ion charge. (4) Highly charged slow ions can fly through nano-capillaries even for a large misalignment of their axis. Such a phenomenon might get a wide range of applications where ions should be directed, focused, deposited and implanted on a nanoscopic scale.
