Annealing of Gamma-Irradiation Damage in Crystalline Lead Nitrate

Abstract

A kinetic study of the annealing of γ-irradiation damage in crystalline lead nitrate is presented. The annealing can be represented on models for simple interstitial vacancy recombination and also as a bimolecular process. It is considered that the process corresponds to the random recombination of the damage fragments, NO and 02 -, throughout the crystal. © 1968, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
