Application of the crystal rainbow effect as a basis for a nuclear analytical method

Abstract

In this work the crystal rainbow effect is described. Its application for determination of the ion-solid interaction potential, which is one of basic problem in ion-solid interaction, is presented. The crystal rainbow effect occurs in transmission of ions through channels of a crystal. We show that it is possible, by measuring the angular distribution of transmitted channeled ions, to establish a novel analytical method for determination of the ion-solid interaction potential.
