Popis: Synthetic quartz crystal –x-, y- and z-cut plates– irradiated with fission fragments were heated to temperatures above 573°C and cooled to room temperature before etching in 65% NaOH. The crystals displayed twinning caused by the heating. The openings of etched tracks in twinned areas showed differences in shape in the x-cut plates and in orientation for the y- and z-cut plates (no differences in shape). The bulk etching rates of the twinned areas were also different for twins on the x-cut plates, but were the same for the y- and z-cut plates.
