Abstract

Samples of synthetic NaCl crystals have been exposed to doses of electron irradiation up to 10(-2) TGy (1 Trad) at about 100 degrees C, and studied subsequently at T = 95 K by means of synchrotron radiation ( SR). In addition to the earlier established Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship (K-S OR) for Na precipitates, the following OR is revealed between solid chlorine and the host NaCl crystal system: {001}(Cl) parallel to {001}(NaCl), <110 >(Cl) parallel to <110 >(NaCl). The size and shape of the Cl-2 precipitates has been studied as a function of the amount of radiation damage (i.e. the concentrations of Na and Cl-2).
