“…In the present investigation, natural muscovite mica (q = 2.80 gm/cm 3 ; crystallographic system: monoclinic [22,[27][28][29] [7]. It consists of infinite sheets of corner-shared SiO 4 tetrahedra, with the apical oxygen atoms located at the corners of a hexagon.…”

“…Since the ionic bonding between the K + layers and the trilayer aluminosilicate sheet is weak, mica cleaves rather easily at the positions of the K + layers. The most stable surface [0 0 1] was used for heavy ion irradiation after cleaving the muscovite crystal [7,24].…”

“…These interests and applications require a complete experimental and theoretical study of the irradiated materials for deep understanding of the different processes involved during the ions propagation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The progress in accelerator technology and availability of a variety of beams of varying energy, masses and charge, availability of special type of radiation detectors, advanced instruments and development of new computational methods have led to several new demands in this field of science.…”

“…Because of the complexities involved in the structures of these types of layered crystalline materials, various processes during ion penetration behave completely different from their amorphous counterparts. The layered crystalline structure has a large effect on the range and stopping of projectiles [7]. Various theoretical and semi-empirical formulations are present to study the ion stopping processes [6,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], but there is no satisfactory treatment to provide a quantitative understanding of the phenomena involved in anisotropic media.…”

“…Among various radiation detecting materials, the minerals (e.g., Mica) provide unique opportunity to measure the radiation effects and defects because of the better measurement of damage [7,[22][23][24][25][26]. The irradiated mica can provide enormous important applications in science and technology.…”

Etched track opening geometries in Biotite, Phlogopite and soda-lime glass irradiated with swift heavy ions [ 197 Au(11.64 MeV/n), 136 Xe(11.56 MeV/n), 58 Ni(11.56 MeV/n)] at different angle of incidence have been studied using appropriate chemical etching technique. Different geometries (Hexagonal, irregular polygon, triangular in case of Biotite and Phlogopite, and circular & elliptical in case of soda lime glass detector) of heavy ion tracks are reported in the present investigations using optical microscope. The different shapes of these heavy ions track geometries are found to be related with various target-projectile parameters (viz : type of projectiles, energy, stopping power, angle of incidence of the projectile, density of defects and its reactivity with etchant, etching conditions and chemical structure of the detectors). The dependence of different shapes of heavy ion tracks in isotropic and anisotropic medium on the variation of radiation damage densities along the ion trajectories have also been discussed in the present paper.
