The preparation of ion-track membranes of thermally stable poly(-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) was performed by ion beam irradiation followed by chemical etching with a sodium hypochlorite solution. Cylindrical pores were observed in the membrane irradiated with
Au and
U ions at an energy of 11.1 MeV/n. In contrast, funnel shape pores appeared in the membrane irradiated with
Kr,
Ru and
Xe ion at energies of 6.2, 3.6 and 3.5 MeV/n, respectively. The effect of the ion velocity as well as of the LET in the damage creation might be manifested for the present etched tracks.

We report how the ion charge state affects the track morphology of phlogopite, a dark mica mineral. The phlogopite samples were irradiated with nickel-58 ions at three different accelerators (GSI, Tokai/JAEA, and Takasaki/JAEA). The charge state of the Ni beams from both the JAEA accelerators was non-equilibrium, whereas at GSI it was adjusted to the equilibrium by passing the ions through three Al-foils. After chemical etching in a hydrogen fluoride aqueous solution, the tracks from different charge states of +15 (388 MeV) and +23 (373 MeV) were inspected by scanning force microscopy. The significant difference in etch-pit size and shape indicates the direct influence of the charge state in the track morphology.
