Metal Physics section

Basic Research in Condensed Matter & Materials Science

Welcome to the Home of Metal Physics Section

 

We specialize in atomistic characterization of Materials using Nuclear, Electron and Vibrational Spectroscopies.

 

Our research pertains to investigation of

 

¨  Metals, Alloys, Structural Steels
           - Defects, Precipitates, Radiation Effects

¨  Magnetic Materials            
             - Local magnetic fields, Local symmetry, Phase transitions

¨  Semiconductors                       
             - Defects, Irradiation/Implantation Effects

¨  Glasses                                                    
             - Defects, local structure, Radiation Effects

 

 

We use  positrons, photons and electrons as probes of the medium and employ the following experimental techniques 

 

 

·  Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (Bulk)

            - Defects, Precipitates, Radiation Effects

 

·  Variable low energy positron beam (Surface)

            - Defects, Radiation Effects

 

·  Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlation (Bulk)

            - Defects, Structural and Magnetic Phase transitions

 

·  Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (Bulk)

            - Vibrational modes, Phonons, Phase transitions

 

·  Auger Electron Spectroscopy (Surface)

            - Elemental identification, Local Chemistry
