Project Physics and Chemistry with Ion Beams comprises the research and development in the fields of modification and analysis of materials with ion beams, channeling of charged particles in crystals and nanotubes, separation and electrochemical methods, and production, diagnostics and dynamics of ion beams. The obtained results are relevant for the advancement in the fields of new materials and nanotechnologies, energy, biomedicine and protection of the environment. The planned experiments will be performed with FAMA, in the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, being a user facility for modification and analysis of materials with ion beams, and also with ion beams from two cyclotrons in the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia, and a tandem accelerator in the National Center for Scientific Research Demokritos, Athens, Greece. They are connected to the nanostructural changes in silicon, trapping of hydrogen isotopes in metallic materials, catalytic properties and biocompatibility of carbon materials, nanostructured carbon materials, nanomodification of steel surfaces, channeling of charged particles, analysis of materials with backscattered ions, separtion methods for obtaining radiopharmaceuticals, methods of nanoextraction and microextraction, electrochemical methods with electrodes from carbon materials, and diagnostics of ion beams. The planned theoretical studies are related to the superfocusing of ions in crystals and catastrophic ion focusing and acceleration.
