The Use of Radioactive Fission Product Rare Gases for the Study of the Change in Crystal Structure

Abstract

The high-temperature x-ray diffraction method was used to confirm the correlation between fission gas release from hematite and the crystal structure change. The release of absorbed recoil Kr and Xe and continuous x-ray diffraction lines are shown as functions of temperature. The usefulness of the method in studies of physical chemistry is discussed.
