Iv. Vorobyova, Interaction of high-energy Pb ions with an island metal film on the surface of a LiF single crystal, NUCL INST B, 174(1-2), 2001, pp. 70-76
Track formation in an island gold film on the surface of a LiF single cryst
al was studied by means of transmission electron microscopy. Irradiation by
Pb ions with an energy of 4.48 MeV/nucleon was carried out at the angles o
f 0.5 degrees and 2 degrees with respect to the crystal surface. The quanti
ty and shape of the islands removed from the surface during the track forma
tion process was investigated with the help of collectors. Possible track f
ormation mechanisms are discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All right
