Brief introduction
The institute was established in 2015. It has 10 staff members now, including 1 professor, 3 associate professors and 5 lecturers. The average age of staff members is now 36, and they all have long-term overseas studying or working experiences. The institute has 10 Ph.D candidates and 19 master degree candidates now, including 6 joint-training Ph.D candidates studying in overseas universities and institutes. So far the staff members have completed 10 national research projects and over 20 latitudinal research projects. 6 national research projects are in progress. The research work led to 58 SCI journal papers, 10 core journal papers in Chinese, 7 education journal papers and 3 invention patents, from January 2015 to September 2018.
                                                                                                Research
The institute has radiation physics laboratory, material analysis & measurement laboratory and material & bio-specimen preparation laboratory. Research areas are focused on radiation physics and nuclear materials, respectively, involving both experimental and theoretical simulation studies.
    - Radiation physics
    (1) Low-energy nuclear physics: Sub-barrier fusion reaction of light nucleus, e.g. primordial nucleosynthesis, depletion of stellar elements, universe and stellar evolution etc.
    (2) Interaction of rays with matter: physical mechanisms of ray-induced radiation damage; investigation of interaction processes using experimental methods and theoretical simulations.
    (3) Radiation measurement and protection: measurement and protection of α, γ, neutron, charged particles and X-ray.
    (4) Radiation effects in various materials and bio-specimen.
    (5) Radiation techniques and applications: applications of ion beam techniques and other radiations in industrial and environmental fields.
  - Nuclear materials
    (1) Fusion-reactor materials: H and He behaviors and their radiation effects in first wall materials and structural materials.
    (2) Fission-reactor materials: radiation effects in cladding materials and structural materials.
    (3) Radioactive waste forms: fatigue failure behaviors in glass and ceramic waste forms.
    (4) Semiconductor materials and devices: radiation effects in electronics and single event effect.
    (5) Functional materials: development of novel materials using ion beam techniques.
                                                                                           Managements
    (1) Graduate tutorial team: Joint supervision system consists of 2 Ph. D supervisors, 2 mater supervisors and 5 assistant supervisors.
    (2) Research group system: group of low energy nuclear reaction & fusion materials, group of fission materials & nuclear waste forms, group of radiation effects in semiconductor materials and devices, group of biological absorption and radioactive environments.
    (3) Seminar system:
        Institute’s seminar: hold every two weeks, involving work schedule and 1~2 academic presentations.
        Group’s seminar: hold once a week, involving arrangement and discussion of research works.
    (4) Intra-training of specialized knowledge: A specialized course is offered within the institute every semester. Each chapter is in turns given by a teacher or student.
    (5) Culture salon: hold every two weeks, involving voluntary culture presentation by a teacher or student，with arbitrary theme except for politics.
    (6) Intra-publications: Annual summary of research works is performed every December. An annual report and a collection of culture salons are edited and published earlier every year.
