Epidote etching anisotropy has been studied through step etching of Kr-86 (300 MeV) ion tracks. A slice of epidote natural monocrystal was taken from the (010) plane and then divided into five pieces. Each piece was then ...

The current work aims at providing an accurate description of the ion track-structure in poly-allyl dyglycol carbonate (PADC) by using an up-to-date Monte-Carlo code-called TILDA-V (a French acronym for Transport d'Ions ...

A wide-spreading technique for treating cancer patients in developed countries is ion beam radiation therapy. This is due to the advantageous dose deposition pattern of ions and to their radiobiological effects in tissue.The ...

PTFE foils were irradiated with different ion beams (Xe, Au and U) with energies up to 1.5 GeV and fluences between 1 x 10(8) and 1 x 10(13) ions/cm(2) at room temperature. The induced modifications in the polymer were ...

Slices of apatite (cut similar to 45 degrees apart from c-axis) were irradiated with Sm-152 ions and heated at different steps in order to investigate the thermal annealing property of tracks generated by these ions. The ...

Irradiation with heavy ions can produce several modifications in the chain structure of polymers. These modifications can be related to scissioning and cross-linking of chemical bonds. which depend on the ion fluence and ...
