A New Solid Solution Approach for the Study of Self-Irradiating Damage in non-Radioactive Materials

Abstract A new method to produce a model system for the study of radiation damage in non-radioactive materials is presented. The method is based on homogenously dissolving minute amounts of 228Th ions in thin films in a controllable manner using a small volume chemical bath deposition technique. Thi...
