RADIATION DAMAGE AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS INDUCED IN CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS BY HIGH-ENERGY PROTON BOMBARDMENT.

Abstract

The objectives of the research summarized in the report were twofold. First, an effort was made to determine whether heavy particle irradiation could produce significant changes in the infrared absorption characteristics of various substances. Second, after having observed that substantial changes were produced, an attempt was made to determine the nature of the defects or reaction products. Irradiations were performed under a variety of conditions and protons, deuterons and alpha particles were used. Energies ranged from 0.7 MeV to 1.8 MeV. Target materials were diamond, graphite, silicon carbide, and tektite glass. (Author)
