Abstract

One of the major areas of interest in solid state physics is the study of defects in nearly perfect crystals. The controlled formation of such defects is thus an important aspect of these studies. Chemical additions and radiation damage are among the techniques which have been widely used to make such defects. In the present work some possibilities have been examined of using radioactive decay to form defects in solids. The technique is simply to make as perfect a material as possible but with some of the host crystal atoms radioactive. When these atoms decay the daughter product essentially forms the defect. As a simple means of testing the feasibility of this technique, it was used to prepare tritium atoms trapped in a crystal of solid molecular tritium. The experiments indicate that the technique is feasible and should have particular application to the preparation of free radicals in organic materials which are fairly resistant to radiation damage.

(author) [French] L'etude des defauts que presentent les cristaux presque parfaits revet un interet primordial pour la physique de l'etat solide. La formation controlee de defauts de ce genre constitue ainsi un aspect important des travaux dans cette branche de la physique. Parmi les techniques frequemment employees a cette fin, figurent l'addition de produits chimiques et l'induction de dommages par exposition a des rayonnements. Au cours de leurs travaux, les auteurs ont etudie la possibilite de recourir a la desintegration radioactive de plusieurs manieres pour creer des defauts dans les solides. Le procede consiste simplement a produire une matiere ayant une structure aussi parfaite que possible mais dont certains cristaux renferment des atomes radioactifs. Lorsque ces atomes se desintegrent, le defaut est constitue essentiellement par le produit de filiation. Pour explorer par un moyen simple la possibilite d'utiliser ce procede, l'auteur a prepare des atomes de tritium fixes dans un cristal de tritium moleculaire solide. Les experiences effectuees montrent que l'emploi de ce procede est tout a fait possible et devrait convenir plus particulierement a la production de radicaux libres dans les matieres organiques dont la radioresistance est assez forte. (author) [Spanish] El estudio de los defectos que aparecen en los cristales casi perfectos constituye uno de los capitulos mas interesantes de la fisica del estado solido. Por lo tanto, la creacion controlada de los defectos deseados representa un aspecto primordial de esos estudios. Dos de los metodos que mas se emplean para introducir defectos de esta clase consisten en agregar deliberadamente impurezas quimicas y en radioinducir danos. El autor ha estudiado la posililidad de valerse de la desintegracion radiactiva para crear defectos en los solidos, La tecnica se basa simplemente en obtener un material lo mas perfecto posible, pero en el que algunos de los atomos del cristal consistan en isotopos radiactivos del mismo elemento. Al desintegrarse estos atomos, el elemento descendiente origina un defecto. A fin de comprobar la posibilidad de aplicar esta tecnica, el autor preparo atomos de tritio incorporados en cristales de tritio molecular solido. Los experimentos indican que el metodo es viable, y que deberia poder aplicarse ante todo a la separacion de aquellos radicales libres contenidos en sustancias organicas que sean bastante resistentes a los danos ocasionados por las radiaciones.

V nastoyashchem trude rassmatrivayutsya nekotorye vozmozhnosti ispol'zovaniya radioaktivnogo raspada dlya obrazovaniya defektov v tverdykh telakh. Metod ehtot zaklyuchaetsya prosto v izgotovlenii po vozmozhnosti chistogo materiala, i vvedenii v nego kakikh libo postoronnikh radioaktivnykh atomov.
