Abstract
A preliminary report on the effects of magnetic field on the fission track recording characteristics of soda-glass detectors (glass slide and cover glass) is presented. The studies indicate that there is no appreciable difference in the maximum track diameter of the etched circular tracks at different etch times in magneto-electrets (forming temperature 290°C and 200°C, polarizing magnetic field 8.5 K gauss), blank samples (heat treated but unexposed to magnetic field) and virgin samples (untreated). The thickness of single layer removed (h) versus etch time graphs show that the total value of h in slide glass magneto-electret is much smaller than those in case of blank and virgin samples whereas it is higher comparatively in cover glass. The variations in etch velocity ratio (V) with etch time in case of magneto-electrets of both types of glasses is erratic. A brief review of the formation mechanisms of magneto-electrets along with possible explanations of the observed results have also been given.
