Abstract
The descriptions of high-energy ion irradiation damage in mica by small-angle X-ray/neutron scattering and electron microscopy are used to support some models of track formation in dielectric solids. More recently heavy ion tracks in mica could be observed by atomic force microscopy and the dependence of the track radius on the particle energy loss is in contradiction with previous results. This discrepancy as well as the structural modifications (i.e. amorphization, dilatation, distortions) of ion-irradiated mica are discussed using the technique of wide-angle X-ray diffraction.
