Research activities:

  1. The main activity is a nuclear physics application in synthesis, modification and analysis of new progressive materials. High energy ion beams are used for the modification and the analysis of materials using ion implantation, the ion irradiation of materials, study of radiation defects in materials and study of the energy losses in various materials.
  2. Nowadays we are focused on the installation of novel analytical methods using ion beams (RBS-channeling, ERDA-TOF) in our laboratory equipped by the new Tandetron accelerator.
  3. New materials and structures are developed in collaboration with Czech and abroad workplaces using various deposition techniques (ion implantation, plasma deposition and modification, chemical deposition, magnetron sputtering etc.). Characterization of materials is provided using nuclear analytical methods RBS (Rutherford Back-Scattering spectrometry), ERDA (Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis) and PIXE (Particle Induced X-ray Emission spectroscopy). New materials and structures should be prospective in optics, optoelectronics, microelectronics, nano-application etc.
  4. Study of doped single crystal materials is provided in collaboration with the Forschungzentrum Dresden-Rossendorf to get information about the position of optical active ions of rare earths in crystalline lattice. Lithium niobate and lithium tantalate are doped by rare earth ions and studied as promising laser waveguide materials using RBS-channeling, XRD, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminiscent methods.
  5. Study of diffusion processes, processes induced by ion irradiation in polymers, and glasses, characterization of implanted depth profiles, compositional changes in implanted structure after ion implantation using RBS and ERDA methods. Materials are designed to get the desired magnetic, electric or biocompatible properties.
  6. Experience in deposition of new materials and structures – deposition by magnetron sputtering, ion beam modification, plasma modification.
