Abstract

Three-dimensional analytical determinations of track parameters are extended to cases where the tracks are in the rounded and spherical phases of development. The equation for the track wall in three dimensions and the equation of contour line of the opening were derived for all types of tracks. The expression for the surface area of the track opening has also been found. The equations come up to the well-known expressions for minor and major axes for the special case of constant track etch rate. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
