The paper presents the results of a study of the surface and optical properties of the PM-1 polyimide film and the polyimide track membrane. For the study, polyimide (track) nuclear membranes manufactured by ION TRACK TECHNOLOGY FOR INNOVATIVE PRODUCT (it4ip, Belgium)) is used. The pore diameter is 200 nm, the pore density is 5 • 108 cm-1, and the thickness of the polyimide membrane is 25 μm. The data of IR spectroscopy are presented. It is shown that the decrease in the intensity of the peaks of the IR spectra of the membrane compared to the film is a consequence of the oxidative degradation of the polyimide after exposure to heavy ions and chemical etching. The data on the effects of heavy ion irradiation and chemical etching of a polyimide film to obtain a membrane on surface hydrophobicity / hydrophilicity are presented. The optical density of the film and track membranes is determined in the wavelength range of 350-950 nm. The optical density is measured in increments of 50 nm. It is shown that despite the strong difference in the spectral dependence of the optical density of the polyimide film and the track membrane, the optical density of the PM-1 film and the track membrane is quite low in the entire studied wavelength range and does not exceed 0.26 and 0.42, respectively.

This work presents research results of surface, including optical characteristics of poly (ethylene terephthalate) film under the influence of heavy ion radiation and following chemical etching for use as light filter. The optical density of the films and track membranes was determined in the wavelength range of 310-990 nm. Optical density measurements were carried out with gap of 50 nm. Track membrane was researched with the track diameters of 300 nm and concentration of 4·108см-1. It is determined, that the optical density of the initial film and irradiated are comparatively low in the entire researched wavelength range and does not exceed the value of 0.1. It is shown that for the track membrane in the ultraviolet region there is a sharp rise in the optical density values, at the wavelength of 650 nm to the maximum value, and the values gradually decrease in visible color and continue to decrease in the IR region.

The uranium silicides, including U3Si, are under study as candidate low enrichment nuclear fuels. Ion beam simulations of the in-reactor behavior of such materials are performed because a similar damage structure can be produced in hours by energetic heavy ions which requires years in actual reactor tests. This contribution treats one aspect of the microstructural behavior of U3Si under high energy electron irradiation and low dose energetic heavy ion irradiation and is based on in situ experiments, performed at the HVEM-Tandem User Facility at Argonne National Laboratory. This Facility interfaces a 2 MV Tandem ion accelerator and a 0.6 MV ion implanter to a 1.2 MeV AEI high voltage electron microscope, which allows a wide variety of in situ ion beam experiments to be performed with simultaneous irradiation and electron microscopy or diffraction.At elevated temperatures, U3Si exhibits the ordered AuCu3 structure. On cooling below 1058 K, the intermetallic transforms, evidently martensitically, to a body-centered tetragonal structure (alternatively, the structure may be described as face-centered tetragonal, which would be fcc except for a 1 pet tetragonal distortion). Mechanical twinning accompanies the transformation; however, diferences between electron diffraction patterns from twinned and non-twinned martensite plates could not be distinguished.

AbstractThe structural response of Dy2TiO5 oxide under swift heavy ion irradiation (2.2 GeV Au ions) was studied over a range of structural length scales utilizing neutron total scattering experiments. Refinement of diffraction data confirms that the long-range orthorhombic structure is susceptible to ion beam-induced amorphization with limited crystalline fraction remaining after irradiation to 8 × 1012 ions/cm2. In contrast, the local atomic arrangement, examined through pair distribution function analysis, shows only subtle changes after irradiation and is still described best by the original orthorhombic structural model. A comparison to Dy2Ti2O7 pyrochlore oxide under the same irradiation conditions reveals a different behavior: while the dysprosium titanate pyrochlore is more radiation resistant over the long-range with smaller degree of amorphization as compared to Dy2TiO5, the former involves more local atomic rearrangements, best described by a pyrochlore-to-weberite-type transformation. These results highlight the importance of short-range and medium-range order analysis for a comprehensive description of radiation behavior.
