Scope
Nuclear microprobe technology has a forty year tradition of applying focused MeV ion beams for analysis of materials and also material modification. The excellent quantitative accuracy and the versatility of a nuclear microprobe establish its applications in a broad range of scientific fields, e.g. high-tech materials, semiconductor technology, planetary science, geology, forensics, environmental research, medicine, botany, but also in the humanities, e.g. art and archaeology, history and many others. A nuclear microprobe is not only a non-destructive analytical tool. It is also capable of changing chemical and physical properties of materials, e.g. the electronic structure, crystal quality and optical properties. Thus, 3D-structures, optical wave guides, multi-colour fluorescent materials and even ferromagnetic effects in carbon can be produced. These results are a bright prospect for new technological applications which benefit from modified properties of well established materials.
The conference reports on the latest developments in microprobe technology and on its applications in actual research fields. The open-minded meeting of international scientists is an efficient forum for discussions, transfer of knowledge, and experiences.
