Abstract

The factors that determine the stability of ionic and ionic-molecular crystals in ionizing radiation fields are analyzed. The concepts of the fundamental reactivity (stability) of a solid (the ability of the ideal crystal lattice of the material, in which only intrinsic point defects—interstitial ions and vacancies—are present, to undergo radiation-chemical degradation) and the structure-sensitive reactivity determined by the presence of structural and extrinsic defects are introduced. Data on the radiation resistance of crystalline solids (alkali halides, silver halides, and silver azide) are summarized. It is pointed out that the AgHal crystalline matrix should be resistant toward radiation and alkali halide and AgN3 crystals should not.
