Hot Atom Chemistry in Oxyanion Targets: Behaviour of Recoil 56Mn in Lanthanum Permanganate

“…Almost a similar trend of retention on pre-activation heat treatment has been shown by other permanganates [4,7,8]. However, there are a few instances of higher retention values in case of pre-activation heated targets [9,10] than post-activation heated ones. Isotherms obtained in the two cases follow the classical pattem, i.e., an initial sharp rise followed by a temperature dependent pseudoplateau.…”

“…1 and 2). Although the nature of the curves are similar to earlier studies [3,4,[10][11][12] the Saturation time for other permanganates [4] are different. Such dilferences have been seen as a consequence of the varying degree of solid State reactions which are largely influenced by the nature of crystal defects [3, 4, 13 -15] (inherent and radiation induced) lattice energy, crystal packing, density etc.…”
