DISSOLUTION SPIRALS ON GAMMA-IRRADIATED LITHIUM FLUORIDE.
Abstract
Double-spiral features have been observed at high resolution on lithium fluoride (100) surfaces etched in distilled water containing from 0.1 to 9 ppm ferric ions (as ferric chloride). The models proposed for similar features on other materials are reviewed and rejected in favour of a mechanism involving the formation of prismatic loops produced by vacancy condensation following gamma-irradiation. In preference to the existence of dislocations in lithium fluoride with large Burgers Vector, a series of 'stacked' loops is suggested. (Author)
