“…The mean range of lI9Xe at different energies has been obtained from this value using the energy-loss curve. Figure 4 shows a plot of the experimental mean range of '29Xe in mica against ion energy along with the values obtained from four different computer codes RANGE [18], TRIM [19], HB [20] and HUBERT [21]. Theexperimental values obtained were compared with these theoretical values and were found to be quite comparable within the error limits.…”

Calibrated Polyallyldiglycol Carbonate (PADC) detectors have been used to determine energy-loss and mean ranges of 13.04 MeV/u '29Xe ion in mica and Makrofol-KG using the nuclear track technique. The energy-loss rates (dE/dx) of the ion as a function of energy and depth of penetration in mica and Makrofol-KG have been derived from the respective energy-loss curves. Experimental data are compared with theoretical values obtained from four different sources. The significance and scope of the work is discussed.

“…This system allows us to analyze the object structures with high spatial resolution. After measuring the projected track length, the total etchable range was determined by applying the corrections due to the angle of incidence, bulk etching and over-etching [12]. Knowing the total etchable range, it is possible to determine the residual range of different heavy ions.…”

The theoretical and experimental investigations of the penetration of charged particles in matter played a very important role in the development of modern physics. Solid state nuclear track detectors have become one of the most important tools for many branches of science and technology. An attempt has been made to examine the suitability of the single-sheet particle identification technique in CR-39 and CN-85 polycarbonate by plotting track cone length vs. residual range for different heavy ions in these detectors. So, the maximum etchable ranges of heavy ions such as 93 Nb, 86 Kr and 4 He in CR-39 and 4 He and 132 Xe in CN-85 polycarbonate have been determined. The ranges of these ions in these detectors have also been computed theoretically using the Henke-Benton program. A reasonably good agreement has been observed between the experimentally and theoretically computed values.

“…The true track lengths (Ä) were then calculated from measured projected track lengths using the formulations [12] as follows: Ä Ð Ó×³µ · Î Ø × Ò³µ Î ´Ø Ø µ (2) where, Ð is the projected track length as observed by the microscope, ³ is the angle of irradiation,´Î Ø × Ò³µ is the surface etching correction, Ø is the etching time, Ø is the complete etching time that corresponds to a fixed value of track diameter which is independent of temperature of a given etchant and dielectric [13]. Î ´Ø Ø µ is the overetching correction.…”

Impact of electron irradiation on particle track etching response in polyallyl diglycol carbonate (PADC)

et al. 2000

In the present work, attempts have been made to investigate the modification in particle track etching response of polyallyl diglycol carbonate (PADC) due to impact of 2 MeV electrons. PADC samples pre-irradiated to 1, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 Mrad doses of 2 MeV electrons were further exposed to 140 MeV ¾ Si beam and dose-dependent track registration properties of PADC have been studied. Etch-rate values of the PADC irradiated to 100 Mrad dose electron was found to increase by nearly 4 times that of pristine PADC. The electron irradiation has promoted chain scissioning in PADC, thereby converting the polymer into an easily etchable polymer. Moreover, the etching response and the detection efficiency were found to improve by electron irradiation. Scanning electron microscopy of etched samples further revealed the surface damage in these irradiated PADCs.
