Abstract
The thermal conductivity of γ-irradiated lithium fluoride (LiF) single crystals has been studied using the method of stationary longitudinal heat flux in a temperature range of 50–300 K. An increase in the irradiation dose to 2 × 109 rad is accompanied by a monotonic decrease in the thermal conductivity by 10% at 300 K and by a factor of 10 at 50 K. This increase in the irradiation dose also leads to an increase in the microhardness of LiF crystals from 140 to 222.5 kgf/mm2.
