Nuclear analytic methods have been developed and extensively used in
The Department of Nuclear Physics (Academy of Science of Czech
republic) since the early 60s of last century. In particular, neutron
activating analysis and prompt methods of analysis with charged
particles beam and beam of neutrons was handled. During the past period
several analytic methods were innovated, practical experience of their
application was obtained and collaboration with many Czech and foreign
scientific enterprises and organizations was set.
The beam of the accelerated ions is applied for
the surface modification of solids and for the analysis of their
composition and structure. These methods have several unique
characteristics which couldn't be substituted for other alternative
approaches. In the Department of Nuclear Physics AS CR (UJF) we use Van
de Graaff electrostatic accelerator on these purposes. In the last 10
years several equipments for analytical methods were assembled, such
as: PIXE, RBS, ERDA, PIGE, NRM. Group of Nuclear Analytic Methods
systematically partake in the study of synthesizing, structure and
properties of advanced materials for microelectronic, optic,
optoelectronic, cryogenic and materials with exclusive properties
(microhardness, chemical resistance, biocompatibility, etc.). Surface
structures and systems prepared in cooperation with Czech and foreign
institutes by different methods (epitaxial grow, Czochralsky's method,
ion implantation, deposition of plasma polymer, CVD, PCVD, magnetron
sputtering, etc.) are analyzed in our laboratory with different "Analytical
methods".
