This is the final report of the study carried out by ERA Technology for the European Commission to provide the technical basis for this review process. This report is based on the Interim Report (ERA Report No. 2006-0134) submitted to the European Commission in March 2006. Some sections are largely unchanged while others have been completely rewritten or are new. This final report takes into account comments and suggestions made at, and subsequent to, the “Experts Workshop” organised by the European Commission in April 2006 to obtain the views of Member States and other Stakeholders. In order to amend the RoHS Directive, it is necessary to take into account the impact this would have on healthcare, safety and the environment as well as technical issues. The Lisbon Strategy of the EU aims to protect the environment as well as EU industry and employment and so these issues are also taken into account. Manufacturers have been extensively consulted as well as many other organisations. Quantities of equipment and RoHS substances The quantities of equipment within Categories 8 and 9 sold annually in EU and the quantities of the six RoHS restricted substances have been estimated: • Category 8 equipment ~30,000 tonnes • Category 9 equipment ~30,000 tonnes The estimate for Category 8 is fairly accurate but it has proven to be very difficult to obtain reliable data for Category 9 because manufacturers are unclear of the scope of this Category. The best estimate for the actual quantity is about 30,000 tonnes and is probably no more than 60,000 tonnes. A total of 60,000 tonnes is approximately 1% of all electrical equipment sold annually in EU. Of the six RoHS substances, lead is used in Category 8 and 9 equipment in the largest quantities at an estimated 1414 tons with only 2.2 tonnes of cadmium, ~30 kg mercury, 800 kg of hexavalent chromium and <10 tonnes total for the two types of flame-retardants PBB and PBDE. Reliability of substitute materials One of the main reasons that Categories 8 and 9 were originally excluded from the scope of the RoHS Directive was concern over the reliability of substitute materials, especially lead-free solders. This was reasonable as unexpected early failure of equipment in these Categories could have serious and potentially fatal consequences. It has been prudent to wait until research has been carried out to investigate the substitute materials and develop strategies to ensure that these are not less reliable than the products manufactured using the RoHS-restricted substances. The long-term reliability of lead- ©Copyright ERA Technology Limited 2006 043121538 EC Final report f3.doc 4 ERA Report 2006-0383 - Final Report free solders has therefore been extensively investigated in this study. There are five main concerns with the use of lead-free solders: • Manufacturing defects • Thermal fatigue • Tin whiskers • Vibration and effect of g-forces • Corrosion The risk of manufacturing defects is increased by the use of lead-free solders but most of these are well understood and should be avoidable provided that sufficient time and resources are available. Research into thermal fatigue is not yet conclusive. Accelerated tests show that at low stress levels lead-free solders appear to be superior to their tin/lead equivalents, whereas they appear to be less reliable when stress levels are high. It is not yet possible, however, to predict the field life of equipment with sufficient accuracy for products that are used for >10 years and in hostile conditions on the basis of accelerated test data. This is because there is as yet no comparable field data for equipment made with lead-free solders as these are new materials. Estimation of field life from accelerated test data should be possible within the next five years but this is not yet possible with sufficient certainty for the most safety critical applications. Tin whiskers occur on electroplated tin coatings such as those used on component terminations. Extensive research is beginning to show how these are produced and whisker minimisation strategies are being developed so that the risk of whiskers is very low if these are followed. Whether Categories 8 and 9 are included in the scope of RoHS will not make a significant difference to whisker risk as manufacturers of Category 8 and 9 equipment are already being forced to buy components with tin coated terminations as alternatives are not usually available. Lead-free solders and tin-lead solders are equally reliable at low g-forces but lead-free solders have been shown to be less reliable at high g-forces in the direction perpendicular to printed circuit boards. This could affect certain types of product. Recent research has shown that printed circuit boards made using lead-free materials can be more susceptible to corrosion than their tin/lead counterparts. Unexpectedly, it has been found that corrosion occurs to gold-coated boards and components used in the most severe environments. This work is continuing but shows that sufficient time for research should always be allowed as unforeseen behaviour such as this can occur where new materials are used and not adequately understood. There has also been concern about substitutes for hexavalent chromium passivation coatings and so this has also been reviewed. These account for ~99% of all hexavalent chromium used in Category 8 and 9 products. However, research has been carried out with substitute materials and results to date ©Copyright ERA Technology Limited 2006 043121538 EC Final report f3.doc 5 ERA Report 2006-0383 - Final Report indicate that these can be used as replacements under all conditions except those found in the most severe environments such as within chemical and petrochemical process plant. The characteristics of Category 8 and 9 equipment Category 8 and 9 equipment has several important differences to equipment in the other eight WEEE Categories. In general, the majority of Category 8 and 9 products are made in small numbers, are produced for long periods without modification or changes to the design, and have to be very reliable. Although some products in the other eight Categories also have these characteristics, most are made in large numbers, models are changed more frequently and failure is inconvenient but does not pose a environmental, health or safety risk. When a manufacturer of Category 8 or 9 equipment modifies a product, they need to carry out similar activities to those manufacturers in other sectors but in addition also have to carry out extensive reliability testing, carry out validation or clinical trials and submit data to Notified Bodies for compliance with a range of Directives and industry standards. The number of trained engineers available to carry out this work is limited and so, where a manufacturer has a very large range of products, the time required to modify these to comply with RoHS can be very long. In reality, it will not be feasible to change all these products and many will be withdrawn from the EU market. It is already being shown by a small number of manufacturers that it is possible to make RoHS compliant Category 8 and 9 products but the time required is in general longer than has been required for products in the other eight Categories. For the most complex products, testing and validation can take 18 months or more and obtaining approvals under ATEX and the Medical Device Directives can take a year or more. Manufacturers would typically replace Category 8 and 9 product designs with new models after 7 – 10 years. The cost to develop a new non-RoHS compliant product would be a little lower than the cost of development of a new RoHS compliant product, at least initially, but this difference will not be large because testing and obtaining approvals will be required for all new products and so RoHS compliance normally incurs a small cost increase.

J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute, Drexel University High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and electron ener- gy loss spectroscopy (EELS), supported by TEM simulation, show the presence of water in carbon nanotubes (CNT) subjected to hydrothermal treatment. It was observed that water behaves differently in the channels of CNT with different inner diameters. In large CNT (50 - 200 nm in diameter) water behaves fairly con- ventionally, showing a well-defined meniscus. Rapid evaporation and condensa- tion upon the intensity change of electron beam, as well as strong interaction between nanotube walls and water, have been observed. Water in small CNT with inner diameter of 2 - 5 nm shows a surprisingly high contrast in HRTEM images. Fluidity of water in such small channels is greatly retarded compared to Contents the macroscale.

  • Ion Sources for High-Power Hadron Accelerators
    Ion sources for high-power hadron accelerators Daniel C. Faircloth Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Oxfordshire, UK Abstract Ion sources are a critical component of all particle accelerators. They create the initial beam that is accelerated by the rest of the machine. This paper will introduce the many methods of creating a beam for high-power hadron accelerators. A brief introduction to some of the relevant concepts of plasma physics and beam formation is given. The different types of ion source used in accelerators today are examined. Positive ion sources for producing H+ ions and multiply charged heavy ions are covered. The physical principles involved with negative ion production are outlined and different types of negative ion sources are described. Cutting edge ion source technology and the techniques used to develop sources for the next generation of accelerators are discussed. 1 Introduction 1.1 Ion source basics An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, thus giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge. The name ion (from the Greek ιον, meaning "going") was first suggested by William Whewell in 1834. Michael Faraday used the term to refer to the charged particles that carry current in his electrolysis experiments. Ion sources consist of two parts: a plasma generator and an extraction system. The plasma generator must be able to provide enough of the correct ions to the extraction system. There are numerous ways of making plasma: electrical discharges in all of their forms; heating by many different means; using lasers; or even being hit by beams of other particles.
