Zusammenfassung:
Various nuclear effects in atomic systems and in a particular type of solids, namely, in
unconventional superconductors, are investigated. The first process considered, internal pair
conversion in heavy ions, can play an important role in numerous scattering processes to be
examined at existing or upcoming high-energy heavy-ion-accelerator facilities. The rate of
nuclear excitation and thus the number of created pairs is found here to be strongly increased by
ion planar channeling through a crystal. The time-reversed process of pair conversion, nuclear
excitation by resonant positron annihilation, provides an alternative mechanism of positronmatter
interaction and constitutes a state-selective way to excite nuclei which is complementary
to photo- and Coulomb excitation. Furthermore, weak-interaction effects are examined in the
context of parity violation in unconventional p-wave superconductors. We suggest schemes
to efficiently enhance the effect and to enable its future experimental study. The considered
effects represent new phenomena at the interface of atomic and nuclear physics and quantum
electrodynamics, and provide effective ways to investigate fundamental interactions.
