“…The mean of deviations between experimental and theoretical ranges obtained from three computer codes HB, RANGE and TRIM was evaluated and found to be 3.0%, 4.2% and 1 1 .l %, respectively. This work has qualitatively supported some earlier findings (Dwivedi, 1991;Dwivedi et al, 1993b;Ghosh et al, 1988Ghosh et al, , 1994Jain et al, 1989Jain et al, , 1991Kocsis et al, 1993;Saxena and Dwivedi, 1990) barring a few cases (Ghosh et al, 1994;Kocsis et al, 1993) that the computer code 'RANGE' may be used to derive fairly reliable values of heavy ion ranges in complex solids. Though the validity of theoretical ranges of heavy ions from computer code 'RANGE' has been tested below 20 MeV/u, the program from Henke and Benton is applicable up to 500 MeV/u.…”

“…The program TRIM is frequently used by groups engaged in ion implantation and heavy ion interactions due to its reliability at low energies but for higher energies (> 10 MeV/u) it has shown large discrepancies in a number of cases (Ghosh, 1990;Ghosh et al, 1994;Kocsis et al, 1993). For some ion-detector pairs (Dwivedi, 1991;Dwivedi et al, 1993b) the TRIM ranges are in good agreement with experimental ranges. More experimental range data, both in elemental and complex media, are needed before making valid conclusions on the general reliability of these computer codes.…”

“…Range is also important in material science and technology, to introduce the impurities in desired material and modify the properties of material's surface through ion implantation. Thus, the precise measurements of range of heavy ions in different materials are highly essential [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…Also, these detectors do not involve in any sophisticated instrumentation. Further, SSNTDs provide a unique opportunity to measure the range of heavy ions because the complete trajectory of the ion tracks, from its entrance at the surface to almost its end point, can be viewed optically [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Range of heavy ion is one of the important parameters and understanding of this parameter is highly essential in almost all those experiments where heavy ions are used. The present review deals with the range measurements of different heavy ions through solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) technique. The importance of SSNTD technique as compared to other techniques is highlighted and different methods/models proposed for range measurements are described. An attempt has been made to compile the measured range values for heavy ions from H4to U238in different classes of SSNTD materials viz. polymers, glasses and minerals, from the available literature. An inter-comparison between the measured range values of different laboratories and through different range measurement methods has been made. Further, the reliability and validity of most commonly used theoretical and semi-empirical/empirical range formulations, through comparison with the measured range, are highlighted. Furthermore, the isotropic and anisotropic behaviour in polymers and minerals through range measurements has been described.Contents of Paper

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

et al. 2000

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.
