The Atomic Spectroscopy‌ Application Technology Group is affiliated with the Atomic Physics Research Center. We are devoted to the development of various technologies mainly including atomic spectroscopy, particle detection, ionic beam manipulation, and the R&D of relevant detection systems and analytical instruments for specific application scenarios in the domains of nuclear energy, natural resource exploitation, space exploration, medical treatment and diagnosis.

Specifically, we are researching and developing the technologies and relevant instruments as follows: the Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique (combined with various machine learning algorithms) for analyzing the chemical composition and (or) physical properties of spent fuel, nuclear material, mineral material, medical isotope material, etc.; the LIBS technique (combined with various machine learning algorithms) for medical diagnosis such as the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease; the special particle detection techniques for space exploration and process monitoring of beam-target interaction in nuclear material irradiation platform; the atom probe tomography (APT) expected to create China's first fully domestically produced APT engineering prototype; the flexible self-adaptive ion beam guide technique expected to be used in new generation heavy-ion cancer therapy equipment.

We work in close collaboration with famous domestic and foreign institutions, such as Advanced Energy Science and Technology Guangdong Laboratory, Suzhou Nuclear Power Research Institute, Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes, Shanghai Jiao Tong University‌, Xidian University, Lanzhou University, St. Petersburg State University, Missouri University of Science and Technology, University of Manchester, Helmholtz Center Berlin for Materials and Energy, Stockholm University, etc.
