摘要
Small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) intensities measured in a series of natural zircons, from fully crystalline to fully amorphous, give evidence for nanoscale density fluctuations within the amorphous phase produced by alpha-decay self-irradiation. At low amorphous fractions (p<0.5), the SAXS intensity is dominated by the signal associated with the sharp crystalline/amorphous interphase. At high amorphous fractions (p>0.8) a peak at Q=3 nm(-1) develops, indicating the presence of 1 nm diameter regions that show a high-density contrast with the surrounding matrix. Density fluctuations are interpreted in terms of nanometer size voids.
