Abstract

Results of characterization of 238Pu-doped Eu- and La-monazites using single crystal XRD, Raman and XAFS spectroscopy and TEM are presented. It is shown that despite significant accumulated doses (up to 9x1018 α-decays/gram) the Eu-monazite remains a single crystal. Unusual foamy structures are observed by TEM and are interpreted as recrystallisation of domains damaged by recoil U-ions. Partial recrystallisation of the surface material is also supported by Raman and luminescence data.
