In charged particle accelerators, solid insulators supporting accelerating electrodes in vacuum are used, and tracking discharge poses a problem. We focused on removing positive charge from the insulator surface to suppress discharge and investigated whether Ni ions could be implanted into a sapphire substrate to impart slight conductivity to its surface. This presentation reports that post-implantation etching accumulates Ni near the surface, enabling surface resistance control, and details the results of our investigation into the underlying electronic conduction mechanism.
