Abstract:
Nuclear tracks can be etched into pores in which the refractive indexes gradually increase, so that the sample surface reflects very few lights back. CR-39 samples were bombarded with sulfur ions from the Tandem Accelerator HI-13 of CIAE. Three kinds of procedures were performed in the following treatments. The reflectivity was measured for all samples, untreated and treated, within the wavelengths of visible light. The results indicated that the reflectivity of the CR-39 samples modified with the track technique and multilayer coating can be as low as 0.1%.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
