Hyperfine Interactions of impurities in solids Aims:Studies of *Magnetism in thin oxide films, *Magnetism in intermetallic compounds, *Hydrogen in intermetallic compounds, *Hafnium-oxygen system, *Phase transitions in solids,... Technique: TDPAC

  14. This technique is appropiated for detecting the hyperfine interactions at radioactive impurities (probes) sites . By Hyperfine Interactions we means the interactions of the probe nuclear spin with the surrounding. Perturbed Angular Correlation technique Perturbed Angular Correlation equipment of four detectors

  15. The PAC technique requires a radioactive isotope (probe) The isotope 111Cd, appropriated for PAC determinations, results from the disintegration of 111In by electron capture.

  16. The probability of detecting 2 at an angle  from the direction of detection of 1 is measured as a function of the time t that the nucleus is in the intermediate state of the cascade.

  17. La Plata, August 1964 Uppsala, 1966 Dr. Othaz brough the electron-gamma spectrograph gifted for Uppasala University,Sweden. Prof. Dr Othaz La Plata, 1966

  18. La Noche de los Bastones Largos 'the night of the long sticks' Ongania´s Time Our Department of Physics results benefited. Well recognized theoretical physicists were incorporated. For the experimental physics at La Plata, the shortage of funds made necessary the use of personal resources (“piccola cajeta”) "the Night of long knifes." Beginning of the destruction of the education at Argentine Universities. 29 de julio de 1966 Anyway the Science was preserved

  19. Years later, Prof. Sadosky said: We believed that, we were doing transcendental things that the society valorized, and discovered our isolation in the worst way. Seeing what came later, with murders and missing people, we felt that we had been fortunate that night. The fact had transcendence because an USA mathematician (Prof. Warren Ambrose from the MIT) was among the attacked persons. This prompted the New York Times to publish a note on the incident, which gave international notoriety to the situation.

  20. Times of the Civil War (1973-1976) Those were difficult years but nobody could imagine what will come later. How to explain to control patrols and police barriers that such smoke substance was not explosive. The probability of overcoming was bigger if you talk about liquid Nitrogen than liquid air. The soldiers and policeman were very clever for discovering great liars. Most of them did not know what was the normal physic state of N2 but all know how looks the air.

  21. The bloody dictatorship 1976 - 1983 The pencil's night September 1976 C. López Claro, argentine artist.

  22. Time of IALE (Isotopes far from stability line) project. The magnetic Hyperfine field at 140Ce in nickel. 140Xe was produced by 235U fission 140Ce is obtained via the - cascade

  23. Time of IALE (Isotopes far from stability line) project. Will they be on the front cover of the new TDPAC Herald?

  24. "…something you could show or not, but remember that somebody could visit you to verify if it is still in your bookshelf…" 1980, flying to the SLAFES at Gramado (Brazil).

  25. E= 56 MeV Radiation damage Alpha particles Natural silver foil Annealing or melting required Synchrocyclotron times: (1978-1983) 109Ag( ,2n)111In Acknowledgments:M. Behar and G. García Bermúdez

  27. Impurity-defect interactions 1979 – Prof. Erwin Bodenstedt visits for second time La Plata. One month before Bibiloni brings two samples implanted in Bonn: Au:181Hf Ag:181Hf Radiation damage, e-- PAC Radiation damage, - PAC A.F. Pasquevich F. H. Sánchez

  28. Times of Internal oxidation. Beginning with the impurity -impurity interaction project we accidentaly re-discovered the interaction between impurities and Oxygen in Silver. The important thing was that we were able to develope an onw research project. This discovery give us some international acknowledgement (not much, of course!). But we were in the herd. P. Wodniecki, B. Wodniecka, "TDPAC studies of internal AgIn alloy oxidation", Hyp. Int.12 (1982) 95. W. Bolse, H. Schröder, P. Wodniecki, M. Uhrmacher, "Innere Oxidation von Silber-Indium Legierungen", Deutsche Physik. Gesellschaft Konferenz, Münster 1982.

  29. The internal oxidation project produces the first division of the group: The short lifetime of indium, conjugated with a manually driven two detectors equipment required day and night work, and some members of the lab, because familiar reasons could not work under such pressure. Splitting: Oxidized and Ionics.

  30. The oxidized way: After all that, "aftereffects were coming". The study of PAC spectra of internal oxidized indium in silver, rise the idea of studying normal Indium oxide. Salomón et al. Bäverstram and Othaz model.

  31. The ionic way: CsF (~ 0,8 ns) R(t) spectra of 181Ta in K2ZrF6 Martinez, 1981 NaI(Tl) (~ 3 ns)

  32. External War: Malvinas War (1982)

  33. 1986, Argentine won the World Cup of football. Göttingen 1983

  34. Conclusions: The group grew and diversify. Originated at the Hyperfine field has now many projections in the Solid State Physics. …no nos fue tan mal!.
