Activity
Basic and applied research on crystalline materials and scintillators of interest in high energy physics, biomedical diagnostics, safety and geological prospecting. These sectors need to develop theoretical knowledge to improve the performance of materials and to stimulate mass production at low cost. The group develops both models regarding elasto-optical behavior and instrumentation for experimental tests and quality control. The group carries out technical-scientific activities in the field of research, characterization, analysis and study of crystals and scintillator materials. Experimental techniques based on X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, innovative photoelastic techniques, spectrophotometry, laser vibrometers, pulsed lasers, acoustic and ultrasound probes are used.
