Abstract(summary):
The changes in surface composition and morphology have been measured for UF4 targets subjected to high dose irradiation (5 x 10(18) ions) with similar to195MeV Cl-37 (similar to5.3AMeV). Using atomic force microscopy and an electron microprobe, we observed significant morphological changes in the targets along with changes in chemical composition. Published by Elsevier B.V.
