abstract = {Crystalline materials such as monazite have been considered
for thestorage of radionuclides due to their favorable
radiation stability. Understanding theirstructural chemical
response to radiation damage as solid solutions is a key
componentof determining their suitability for radionuclide
immobilization. Herein, highresolutionstructural studies
were performed on ceramics of the monazite solidsolution
La1−xCexPO4 (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) in order to
understand the role ofstructural chemistry on irradiation
stability. Ceramic samples were irradiated with 14MeV Au
ions with 1014 ions/cm2 and 1015 ions/cm2 to simulate the
recoil of daughternuclei from the alpha decay of actinide
radionuclides. The extent of radiation damagewas analyzed in
detail using scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
Ramanspectroscopy, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction
(GI-XRD), and high-energy-resolution fluorescence detection
extended X-rayabsorption fine structure (HERFD-EXAFS)
spectroscopy. SEM and Raman spectroscopy revealed extensive
structural damage aswell as the importance of grain boundary
regions, which appear to impede the propagation of defects.
Both radiation-inducedamorphization and recrystallization
were studied by GI-XRD, highlighting the ability of monazite
to remain crystalline at highfluences throughout the solid
solution. Both, diffraction and HERFD-EXAFS experiments show
that while atomic disorder isincreased in irradiated samples
compared to pristine ceramics, the short-range order was
found to be largely preserved,
facilitatingrecrystallization. However, the extent of
recrystallization was found to be dependent on the solid
solution composition. Particularly,the samples with uneven
ratios of solute cations, La0.75Ce0.25PO4 and
La0.25Ce0.75PO4 were observed to exhibit the least
apparentradiation damage resistance. The findings of this
work are discussed in the context of the monazite solid
solution chemistry and theirappropriateness for radionuclide
immobilization.},
