- Abstract
- Provided are an ion generation target and a treatment apparatus including the target. The treatment apparatus includes a grid having a net shape of nano wires, an ion generation thin film attached to a side of the grid and generating ions by means of an incident laser beam, and a laser for emitting a laser beam into the nano wire of the grid to generate ions from the ion generation thin film and project the ions onto a tumor portion of a patient. The laser beam emitted into the nano wire forms a near field, the intensity of which is higher than that of the laser beam through a nanoplasmonics phenomenon, and the near field emits the ions from the ion generation thin film.
