At the radioactive ion beam facility, ISOLDE-CERN, more than 900 isotopes of 70 elements are produced and delivered as radioactive ion beams of high elemental and isotopic purity. At ISOLDE an extensive solid state programme of research has been in place for many years and continues to develop and expand by the year. This activity embraces a wide range of techniques and materials.
Among the...

The binary uranium-carbon phase-diagram comprises three intermediate phases (UC, U2C3 and UC2) showing high melting / decomposition points, high thermal conductivity, lack of phase-transformations at temperatures of practical relevance, and good stability under irradiations, which allow their use under extreme conditions. An enormous amount of work has been directed to those binary compounds...

The recent discovery of the coexistence of ferromagnetic order and pressure induced superconductivity in UCoGe [1] has boosted up explorative investigations on the crystal-chemistry and low-temperature physical properties of novel intermetallic phases in the U-Co-Ge ternary system. These efforts resulted in the characterization of six intermediate phases, which have hitherto been reported in...
