SOME PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE ELECTRIFICATION OF DUST FROM /cap beta/- IRRADIATED KCl MONOCRYSTALS

Journal Article · · Acta Phys. Polon.
OSTI ID:4733597
Investigation on BETA -ray irradiation of KCl monocrystals yielded some information as to the influence of lattice defect concentration in the crystal on the electrification of the dust produced therefrom. The electric charge of the dust from a KCl monocrystal arises as a result of cleavage of the crystal lattice. The presence of lattice defects increases the probability of electrification. The mean surface charge density of the dust particles depends on the concentration of lattice defects in the crystal. Three main factors cause electrification of the dust of KCl monocrystals irradiated with BETA rays: the F-center concentration, absorption of electrons in the crystal, and secondary emission. (auth)
