Abstract
IMPLANTATION of energetic ions in ionic crystals1–4 has been shown to simulate the chemical effects of nuclear recoil processes and to shed new light on the mechanism of thermal annealing of radioactive atoms generated in ionic crystals by nuclear transformations. It has been shown5–7 that thermal annealing of recoil atoms reflects trapping of charge carriers (holes or electrons) at the recoil atoms or a liberation of charge carriers from the recoil atoms, but not necessarily a reformation of the original molecules.
