Evaluation of Bulk Etch Rate of Solid State Nuclear Track Detector CR-39

Abstract:

In the current study, the bulk etch rate V_Bof solid state nuclear track detectors SSNTDs CR-39 have been examined at different concentrations of NaOH solution ranged from 4N to 8N and different temperatures of NaOH solution (50, 60, 70, 80 ^°C) for various time intervals of etching (1-10 h); this is done by determination of mass variation via etching time. The results indicate that the bulk etch rate V_B increases with the increase of etchant solution concentration and the temperature of solution. This can be attributed to the increase the thickness of the removed layers h of the detector.
