Abstract:In the present study, the effects of swift heavy ion beam irradiation on the structural, chemical and optical properties of Makrofol solid-state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) were investigated. Makrofol-KG films of 40 μm thickness were irradiated with oxygen beam (O 8+ ) with fluences ranging between 10 10 ion/cm 2 and 10 12 ion/cm 2 . Structural, chemical and optical properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy methods. It is observed that the direct and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
