The radionuclide thorium-229 features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy
that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states. It constitutes one of the leading …

Solid state physics (SSP) research at ISOLDE has been running since the mid-1970s and
accounts for about 10%–15% of the overall physics programme. ISOLDE is the world …

Structure–property relationships form the basis of many design rules in materials science,
including synthesizability and long-term stability of catalysts, control of electrical and …

A new approach to observe the radiative decay of the Th 229 nuclear isomer, and to
determine its energy and radiative lifetime, is presented. Situated at a uniquely low …

Radioactive M 27 g (t 1/2= 9.5 min) was implanted into GaN of different do** types at
CERN's ISOLDE facility and its lattice site determined via β− emission channeling. Following …

In order to study the structural formation yield of germanium-vacancy (GeV) centers from
implanted Ge in diamond, we have investigated its lattice location by using the β− emission …

The acquisition of two-dimensional (2D) channeling patterns is gaining increased popularity
within the ion beam community. However, with the exception of emission channeling …

We have studied the lattice location of implanted nickel in silicon, for different do** types
(n, n+, and p+). By means of on-line emission channeling, 65 Ni was identified on three …

Despite the renewed interest in ion implantation do** of GaN, efficient electrical activation
remains a challenge. The lattice location of 27Mg is investigated in GaN of different do** …
