Research Staff
Dr. Belloni Jacqueline
Research director emeritus
Research interests :
- Comparative radiolysis (pulsed and stationary) of non-aqueous polar solvents;
- Ion adsorption by radioactive tracers;
- Formation of stable solvated electrons by radiolysis in liquid ammonia;
- Physical and chemical properties of solvated electrons and radical species.
- Electron-cation recombination models as a function of the dielectric and chemical properties of the liquid;
- Photoionization of dimethylsulfide: competition between solvation and electron attachment;
- Transient photocurrents at the polar semiconductor-liquid interfac;
- Metal and semiconductor aggregates : redox and optical absorption properties of the aggregates vary according to the nuclearity and are distinct from the metal or the solid semiconductor;
- Radiolytic synthesis of mono- and multimetallic clusters, alloyed or layered, in subcolloidal solutions, supported on oxides, embedded in polymeric membranes, zeolites or mesoporous solids;
- Molecular clusters of carbonyl metals synthesized by irradiation.
- Mechanisms of nucleation, growth, and development by combination of radiolysis with chemical reductions,
- Mechanism of photographic development: applications to catalysis, non-linear optics, photography.
- Latent image formation in silver photography.
- Electron-hole recombination in silver halides;
- Role of nuclearity dependent properties in aggregate nucleation and thermal hysteresis at phase transition.
