Solid State Physics with Radioactive Isotopes
Abstract
Solid state physics with radioactive atoms employs nuclear techniques like Moessbauer Spectroscopy, Perturbed Angular Correlation, β -NMR and Emission Channeling as well as tracer techniques like Radiotracer Diffusion or radioacitve Deep-Level Transient Spectroscopy, Capacitance-Voltage measurements, Hall-effect measurements or Photoluminescence Spectroscopy. Different problems are attacked in metals, semiconductors and superconductors, while defects and impurities in semiconductors still represent the main field of activities. Several possibilities exist to dope samples with radioactive isotopes, ranging from diffusing commercially available radioisotopes such as 111In into the host lattice up to on-line implantations at ISOLDE/CERN. The paper will give some examples for different types of experiments.
