Abstract

The ion-induced modifications of aqueous dissolution have been thoroughly investigated in several silicates (amorphous silica, quartz, soda-lime glass and albite) by applying depth profiling techniques (RBS and resonant nuclear reactions) for the characterization of leached surfaces. We show in particular that the H penetration after implantation and leaching is markedly increased when the ion dose exceeds a critical value comprised between 1013 and 1014 Pb.cm-2. This feature supports the radiation damage origin of the observed effects. Such experiments provide interesting clues about the aqueous dissolution of silicates and show that no important effect of α-decay is expected on the hydration of HLW glasses during disposal.
