The following is a list of shareware and
freeware which we believe to be of interest to the SIMS
community. We are particularly interested in instrument
control and data reprocessing software written by SIMS users
that may not be available anywhere else. Other types of
information such as mechnical drawings, ion optical
simulations of SIMS instrumentation and sputtering simulation
programs would also be welcome. If you have material you would
like to include in this archive, please
email us

suitability or the accuracy of the information or the programs
listed in this archive. We are not responsible for any
problems which running or downloading this software causes. We
are not aware of any virus containing programs, but all
programs downloaded from here or elseware should be examined
carefully for viruses.
Image Processing Applications
- NIH
Image
This is a highly rated Macintosh-based image manipulation
program written by Wayne Rasband at NIH. Numerous related
links on Macintosh image processing can be found here.
- MacLispix
This is another Macintosh-based image processing program
written by Dave Bright at NIST. Dave works closely with
SIMS researchers at NIST and his software can direclty
import CE&A image files
Cameca Ion Microscope Software
- Albert
Fahey's Software Archive A group of resources written
by Albert Fahey from NIST. Includes mechanical drawings
for IMS 4F sample holders, source code to run Charles
Evans and Associates interfaces to the Cameca IMS 3f-4F,
programs for isotopic SIMS data reduction and REE analysis
(and much more).
Sputter/Ion Implantation Simulations
- The Stopping and Range of
Ions in Matter (SRIM-also known as TRIM)SRIM, written
by James F. Zieglers, calculates the energy loss of ions
in solids, liquids and gases. This physics is combined
with kinematic physics to calculate the transport of
energetic ions in matter, including the transport of
recoil atoms after ion/atom collisions. It can be used to
predict energetic ion ranges in matter, ion transmission
and reflection from matter, and the similar distributions
for recoiling target atoms.
This package is a DOS package, and is simple to install in
all DOS based systems.
Ion Optical Modeling
- SIMION
6.0 (demo version)
SIMION is a PC based ion optics simulation program that
models ion optics problems with 2D symmetrical and/or 3D
asymmetrical electrostatic and/or magnetic potential
arrays. The program was written for thePC by David A. Dahl
at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. A brief
summary is provided here.
The demo software comes with a complete manual which may
be printed out. The program is marketed by Ion
Source Software.
