COST Action Nano-IBCT, 2010-2014
Ion beam therapy offers the possibility of excellent dose localization for treatment of malignant tumours, minimizing radiation damage in normal tissue, while maximizing cell-killing within the tumour. However, the full potential of such therapy can only be realised by better understanding the physical, chemical and biological mechanisms, on a range of time and space scales, that lead to cell death under ion irradiation. The proposed Action therefore aims to combine, using a multiscale approach, the unique experimental and theoretical expertise available within Europe to acquire greater insight at the nanoscopic and molecular level into radiation damage induced by ion impact.

Theoretical analysis, design and virtual testing of biocompatibility and mechanical properties of titanium-based nanomaterials (VINAT), 2011-2014
This collaborative project is supported in the frame of the FP7 European Program. The goal of this project is to develop multiscale theoretical models of biocompatible metallic nanomaterials and apply them for the analysis, design and optimization of the materials. The FIAS team led by A. Solov'yov is responsible within this project for modeling of nanoindentation and mechanisms of localized deformation of nanostructured biomaterials.

Photon emission in crystalline undulators (PECU), 2005-2009
The MBN@FIAS took part and coordinated the collaborative research project entitled 'Photon emission in crystalline undulators' funded within the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Commision, Brussels. The project was devoted to a theoretical and experimental study of a possibility to create a new, powerful source of high-frequency monochromatic electromagnetic radiation of a free-electron laser (FEL) type formed by a bunch of ultra-relativistic particles channelling through a periodically bent crystal. Two fundamental phenomena were investigated: (1) the undulator radiation by ultra-relativistic positrons during channeling in periodically bent crystals, (2) the lasing effect in such systems. The final goal of our efforts was to construct new sources of monochromatic electromagnetic radiation, a crystalline undulator and a gamma-laser operating in the energy range from X- up to gamma-rays. These energies by far exceed those which are achievable at present or are planned to be achieved by means of conventional undulators and FELs based on the action of a magnetic field.
