[en] Swift heavy ions (SHI) available with 15 MV Pelletron accelerator at NSC Delhi are utilized for modification and characterization of materials. Problems related to electronic sputtering, interface modifications, ion beam induced epitaxial crystallization, phase transitions and nano phase generation by SHI's are of current interest. The experimental results in the field of ion beam mixing and electronic sputtering are explainable in framework of thermal spike model. An overview of the current research activities in materials science with swift heavy ions is given. (author)
