Solid state physics at ISOLDE aims at the study of the structural, electrical,
optical, magnetic and transport properties related to impurities in a variety of
technologically and fundamentally relevant materials, including semiconductors,
metals, high-Tc superconductors and ceramic oxides.
Rather than providing an extensive overview of the complete solid state physics
activities at...

Applications: material science, life sciences and nuclear technologies
Invited oral contribution
Radioactive probe atoms in solids have proven to be unique sensors for internal
magnetic and electrical fields and markers to study diffusion phenomena, impurity
lattice sites and optical properties of impurity atoms. In contrast to conventional
solid state methods applied to study magnetism and structural properties, the use of
radioactive probes as sensors of internal fields is...

Invited oral contribution
The understanding of the function of metalloproteins and metal-containing enzymes is
usually based on the detailed knowledge of the structure of these macromolecules
obtained by X-ray diffraction. In many cases, crystals of sufficient quality are not
available and one has to rely on spectroscopy such as, e.g., Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance (NMR) or Electron Paramagnetic Resonance EPR)....

Invited oral contribution
The development of Accelerator Driven Sub-critical Systems proposed by Carlo Rubbia
and others require significant amount of new nuclear data in extended energy regions
and significant improvement of the presently available nuclear data. The ADSS
concepts have given a fresh look at the use of thorium fuel cycle in a lead-bismuth
coolant environment. The nuclear data of isotopes of...

Applications: material science, life sciences and nuclear technologies
Invited oral contribution
The need to develop and qualify materials that can withstand the high radiation and
heat loadings anticipated for a fusion reactor is a key problem in the development of
fusion as a future energy source. No appropriate materials test facility is available
at present to properly simulate a fusion neutron radiation field and investigate the
effect of the resulting radiation damage and...

Invited oral contribution
Recently, a large number of applications involving high-energy neutrons have become
important. Accelerator-driven systems (ADS) for transmutation of spent nuclear fuel
and nuclear weapons materials, fast-neutron cancer therapy, dose effects to the crew
onboard aircraft due to cosmic-ray neutrons, as well as electronics failures induced
by atmospheric neutrons have all got increasing...
