Some Important Contributions:

Spectral analysis of density of states for numerous metals and compounds, spectroheliograms of the solar corona, x-ray emissions from laboratory plasmas, ... She contributed in many areas of x-ray spectroscopy including the series of lanthanide and actinide elements.

Some Important Publications:

"Distribution des états f dans les métaux et les oxyde de terres rares," J.de Phys, 32, C4-230 (1971), with R.C. Karnatak.
- First observation of the direct radiative recombination from excited states with a core hole (labelled excited X states) to the ground state. These observations have been made in metallic and insulator solids. The transitions are of f-d type and are called resonant emissions.

"Analyses par spectroscopie X des distributions 5f de l'uranium dans le métal et UO," J. de Phys, 35, 293 (1974), with G. Lachéré.
- Observation of the same radiative transitions on uranium.

"Spectres Auger N4,5 du gadolinium," J.de Phys. Let, L 255 (1974), with G. Dufour.
-Resonant Auger transitions.

"Discontinuous transitions in YB and Eu atomic volume as a function of the grain size," J. Phys. Chem. Solids, 36, 575 (1975), with F. Vergand.
- First observation of a change in the electronic distribution for small metallic aggregates.

"Resonant X-ray Spectroscopy in solids," Advances in X-ray spectroscopy, Pergamon Press, Chap 6, pp. 104-121 (1982).
