Description 504-508
Among numerous applications of Solid-State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD), one important application is estimating
radon and thoron concentration in an indoor environment. The primarily used SSNTD for this application is LR-115.
Studying the behaviour of these SSNTDs for different etching solutions is essential. In this report, Lithium hydroxide
solution was used to etch LR-115 SSNTD. The study of the thickness of the film removed is carried out at different
normality of etching solution to study the effect of normality of etching solution on the bulk etch rate. The change in bulk
etching rate with the change in temperature of the etching solution was also put out in this study. From the results, it is
discovered that the bulk etch rate is directly proportional to the normality and temperature of the etching solution.
Additionally, it can be deduced that the LiOH bulk etching rate of LR-115 has lower values when compared to those of
other alkaline hydroxide etching solutions.
