Study of the pore-opening process of latent tracks of light low-energetic ions in CR-39 by means of electrolytic etching

Description

In this thesis the irradiation of 10-μm thick CR-39 foils with 5.5-7 MeV protons and of 22-400 μm thick CR-39 foils with 4.85-28 MeV α-particles with subsequent determination of the etching velocities is described. By means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the pore shape after irradiation was determined. From the analysis of the track profiles by means of SEM the track-nucleus diameter for 28 MeV α particles was determined to 1.4 nm. (HSI)
