Investigation of the structure and stability of ion tracks in application specific materials and environments

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    Ion tracks are long columnar defects resulting from the interaction of high energetic, heavy ions with solids. This project comprises a fundamental investigation of the ion track structure with a focus on application specific materials in the areas of geology and nano- and microtechnology. It uses innovative synchrotron x-ray scattering measurements and a new approach for studying ion tracks in environments such as high pressure and temperature to resolve open questions related to ion track formation and stability. The project will provide new strategies for understanding materials behaviour under extreme experimental conditions.
