We study the structure and production of deeply bound pionic atoms in heavy nuclei, which are found quasi-stable due to the repulsive pion-nucleus optical potential and the attractive Coulomb potential. The bound pion forms a pionic halo just outside of nucleus. We discuss then the use of pion transfer reactions such as (n,p) and (d, {sup 2}He) to form these states. In addition, we study other processes such as (n,d) and (d, {sup 3}He) and the use of the inverse kinematics for formation of deeply bound pionic atoms.
