Abstract:Chalcogenide glass GeS11, is irradiated by fast neutrons step by step within the range 1 × 1016 and 1 × 1019 neutrons cm−2. The creation of β and γ crystalline sulphur modifications in irradiated samples is interpreted as a consequence of so called thermal spikes, which are present in the small volume during interaction events. This is demonstrated by scanning electromicrographs. The evolution is shown of the sulphur crystalline modifications as a function of the neutron dose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
