Study of radiation damage in zircon (ZrSiOâ‚„) crystals using fission tracks and d-spacing values of (112) plane
Radiation damage in zircon is caused primarily by α-particles from the chain decays of uranium and thorium and to certain extents by fission fragments of uranium present in the crystals as impurities. We have measured the damage by measuring the fission track densities and the d-spacing of the 112-...
