Abstract

This chapter reviews the applications of isotopetronics in different modern technologies and science. It is briefly describes the application of stable isotopes. This chapter describes the new reactor technology-neutron transmutation doping (NTD), capture of thermal neutrons by isotope nuclei followed by nuclear decay produces new elements, resulting in a number of possibilities for isotope selective doping of solids.
