title: Characterization of the size and orientation of Na and Cl(2) nanocrystals in electron irradiated NaCl crystals by means of synchrotron radiation.
abstract: Samples of synthetic NaCl crystals have been exposed to doses of electron irradiation up to 10(-2) TGy (1 Trad) at about 100 °C, and studied subsequently at T = 95 K by means of synchrotron radiation (SR). In addition to the earlier established Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship (K-S OR) for Na precipitates, the following OR is revealed between solid chlorine and the host NaCl crystal system: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. The size and shape of the Cl(2) precipitates has been studied as a function of the amount of radiation damage (i.e. the concentrations of Na and Cl(2)).
