Ion Tracks in Apatite and Quartz: And Their Behaviour with Temperature and Pressure

by Daniel Schauries

Book Overview

This book pioneers a novel approach to investigate the effects of pressure on fission tracks, a geological problem that has remained unsolved for 60 years. While conventional techniques to study fission tracks were limited in precision, this book overcomes such issues by using state-of-the-art synchrotron-based x-ray scattering; a technique initially developed for applications in material science and biomedical research.
