Radiation Physics, Radiochemistry, and Nanotechnology
Investigations Using Beams of Accelerated Heavy Ions


Leaders:     S.N. Dmitriev
P.Yu. Apel

Participating countries and international organizations:
Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovak Republic, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom, USA, Vietnam.

Issues addressed and main goals of research:
Transition to a new level of research and development in the fields of radiation solid-state physics, applied radiochemistry, and materials science, with possible nanotechnology applications. The main emphasis will be on the modification of the materials at the nanometer scale and on the study of the effects produced by heavy ions in matter with the aim of revealing the fundamental mechanisms and developing of nanotechnology applications for ion beams. Upgrade of the FLNR facilities for the production of medical isotopes and developement of materials modification methods.

Expected major results in the current year:
  • Molecular dynamic simulation of structural changes in single oxide crystals during overlapping of swift heavy-ion tracks.

  • Study of high-energy heavy-ion irradiation effects on hydrogen and helium porosity in metals and alloys.

  • Study of radiation defects generated in graphene under high-energy heavy-ion irradiation.

  • Investigation of the distribution of silver nanoparticles on the surface and in the pores of track-etched membranes modified with polyethyleneimine and other linkers.

  • Study of osmotic effects caused by low-molecular electrolytes in nanopores of cylindrical and conical geometry.

  • Manufacture of composite track-etched membranes coated with thin layers of zinc oxide by planar magnetron sputtering and thorough study of their structure, phase composition, and electrical properties.

  • Investigation of surface and electrical transport properties of composite track-etched membranes with a fluoropolymer hydrophobic layer obtained using magnetron and thermal vacuum deposition techniques.

  • Application of nuclear methods for the analysis of rare-earth elements and radionuclides of the U and Th families in environmental samples provided by the research organizations in Mongolia, South Africa, and Bulgaria.
