![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Electronic stopping power dependence of ion-track size in UO2 irradiated with heavy ions in the energy range of ∼1 MeV/u Electronic stopping power dependence of ion-track size in UO2 irradiated with heavy ions in the energy range of ∼1 MeV/u](/preview/png/1683818.png)
In order to investigate electronic stopping power dependence of ion-track size in UO2, ion-tracks in UO2 irradiated with various ions with the specific energy in the order of 1 MeV/u have been observed by a transmission electron microscope. The ion-track size shows monotonic increase as a function of the electronic stopping power. The ion-track size obtained for UO2 is smaller than that obtained for CeO2, although these two compounds have same crystallographic structure and similar thermal properties. The ion-track sizes for irradiations with ions having relatively low energy of about 1 MeV/u are smaller than those expected from the thermal spike models based on melting temperature criterion. The possible interpretations for the unusually small ion-tracks observed for UO2 are discussed.
