Description

The track damage created in LiF crystals by swift U, Xe and Kr ions with a specific energy of 11.1 MeV/u was studied using dislocation mobility measurements, track etching, SEM, AFM and optical microscopy. The results demonstrate high sensitivity of dislocation mobility to track core damage. The relationship between the energy loss of ions, dislocation mobility and track structure is discussed.
