Molecular Disarray in a Crystal Lattice Produced by a Fission Fragment
It was found possible to make a direct observation of the molecular disarray produced in a crystal lattice when a single fission fragment passes through it. The extent of the damage can be measured to within one molecular plane, and in platinum phthalocyanine was found to vary between seven and twenty (201) planes, being dependent on where, and at what angle, the fragment strikes the crystal. In some cases dislocation dipoles are formed. The method appears to be perceptive for studying the detailed mechanisms of radiation damage, (P.C.H.)
