The figures of saints on the shade under the golden haloes seemed to melt in profound adoration.
This method has been applied to the uranium haloes of the mica of County Carlow.
The higher results are probably the least in error, upon the data involved; for the assumption made as to the amount of uranium in the nuclei of the haloes was such as to render the higher results the more reliable.
We are evidently justified in the belief that had other elements been radioactive we must either find characteristic haloes produced by them, or else find a complete darkening of the mica.
Finally we may have haloes in which interior detail is lost so far out as the radius due to emanation or radium A, while outside this floats the ring due to radium C.
The absence of actinium haloesclearly supports this view.
Even in the case of the larger nuclei and more perfectly developed haloes the quantity of radium involved is many millions of times less than the least amount we can recognise by any other means.
The 224 extraordinary uniformity of the radial measurements of perfectly formed haloes (to use the name by which they have long been known) suggests that they may be the result of alpha radiation.
Haloes are not found in the younger igneous rocks.
But haloes may be found quite clearly defined and fairly dark out to the range of the emanation ray and derived from much less quantities of radioactive materials.
These haloes are due to uranium, although their inner darkening is doubtless aided by the passage of rays which were too few to extend the darkening beyond the vigorous effects of the two uranium rays.
Haloes are, I believe, not found in minerals from which this 235 element is absent.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "haloes" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
