The effect of gamma irradiation in the dose range of 5-500 kGy on the optical absorption and luminescence spectra of Nd doped phosphate glass is reported. The spectral absorption of this glass before and after gamma irradiation was measured in the spectral range 300-900 nm at room temperature using spectrophotometer and synchrotron beamline. Drastic increase in absorption was noted below 600 nm after gamma irradiation, which was dependent on the dose of irradiation. Additional absorption (AA) spectra of irradiated sample shows generation of two absorption bands below 600 nm, which finally became one very broad band peak with increased intensity at irradiation dose of 500 kGy. AA spectra also show the presence of negative peaks at the location of absorption peaks of Nd3+. Photoluminescence of Nd doped phosphate glass shows two strong bands which decreases to a very low intensity with a red shift after gamma irradiation. These results indicate that irradiation produces different kinds of defects in the glass material along with conversion of valence state of Nd3+ to Nd2+. This change was found irreversible at room temperature. 相似文献

Bulk Se96Sn4 chalcogenide glass was prepared by melt quenching technique and irradiated by different doses of 4, 8, 12, 24 and 33 kGy using 60Co gamma emitter. I-V characteristics were obtained for this glass, before and after gamma irradiation, in the temperature range 200-300 K. Ohmic behavior was observed at low electric fields (≤1×104 V/m), while at higher fields, a deviation from ohmic towards non-ohmic behavior was observed. The plots of ln(I/V) vs. V were found to be straight lines and the slopes of these lines decrease linearly with temperature indicating the presence of SCLC. In the temperature range of measurements, the dependence of DC conductivity on temperature at low electric field shows two types of conduction channels, one in high temperature range 270-300 K and the other at low temperature range 200-270 K. Analysis of the experimental data shows that the conductivity at room temperature decreases with increase in irradiation dose. This is attributed to rupturing of SnSe4/2 structural units, upon irradiation, and rebuilt of Se atoms between Se chains. This redistribution of bonds, induced by gamma irradiation, is responsible for the corresponding increase in the activation energy. The obtained values of the activation energy indicate that the conduction occurs due to thermally assisted charge carriers movement in the band tail of localized states. However, in the low temperature range, results obtained from Mott’s variable range hopping (VRH) model reveal that the density of localized states has its maximum value at a gamma dose of 12 kGy, while the disorder parameter To, hopping distance Rhop and hopping energy W have their minimum value at this particular dose. 相似文献

The effects of electron beam irradiation doses on the poly-tetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE) have been studied. Several techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mechanical properties and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were applied to characterize the PTFE samples and to study the radiation effects on the crystal structure of the polymer.The irradiation dose up to 150 kGy showed an increase in the crystallinity degree of PTFE, which has been observed and confirmed during the DSC and XRD measurements. The increase in crystallinity was attributed to the scissions of the chain in the amorphous region. Moreover, the number-average molecular weights were estimated from the heat of crystallization measured by DSC technique. The results indicated that the molecular weights were decreased by increasing the heat of crystallization due to irradiation with doses up to 150 kGy. Radiation resistance of the irradiated and non-irradiated PTFE was investigated during its mechanical properties at room temperature. The dose at half value of the elongation at break is about 3.10 kGy while the dose at half value of the tensile strength is about 1.70 kGy. 相似文献

This research paper reports about the change in optical spectra of alkali aluminoborate glasses under high dose of gamma irradiation. Effect of irradiation on visible spectra finds remarkable applications in optoelectronic materials.Glasses with a host matrix composed of M2O (where M=Na, K), Al2O3, B2O3 were prepared by conventional melt quench technique. Gamma irradiation was performed at a dose-rate of 573 Gy/h to a total dose of 50 kGy. Samples were characterised before and immediately after irradiation by UV-vis transmission spectra in the range of 200-800 nm. The induced absorption coefficient and loss of transmission due to irradiation were attributed to the nature of alkali metals as well as the host matrix. 相似文献

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of xBaO–15Na2O–(70−x)B2O3–15SiO2 glass system with x=0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 (mol%) has been measured in the spectral range 400–4000 cm−1 at room temperature in order to understand the characteristic frequencies of the chemical bonds and bonding mechanisms, which are susceptible to the structural and spectral changes. The effect of gamma irradiation in the dose range 0.1 kGy–60 kGy on the infrared absorption spectra of these glasses is also reported. The change in the glass structure due to the effect of composition is also discussed. It has been observed that irradiation of the glasses with the gamma rays increases the BO3 groups and the non bridging oxygens which make the network loose. 相似文献

Gamma radiation induced changes were investigated in sodium-barium borosilicate glasses containing Eu. The glass composition was similar to that of nuclear waste glasses used for vitrifying Trombay research reactor nuclear waste at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India. Photoluminescence (PL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques were used to study the speciation of the rare earth (RE) ion in the matrix before and after gamma irradiation. Judd-Ofelt (J-O) analyses of the emission spectra were done before and after irradiation. The spin counting technique was employed to quantify the number of defect centres formed in the glass at the highest gamma dose studied. PL data suggested the stabilisation of the trivalent RE ion in the borosilicate glass matrix both before and after irradiation. It was also observed that, the RE ion distributes itself in two different environments in the irradiated glass. From the EPR data it was observed that, boron oxygen hole centre based radicals are the predominant defect centres produced in the glass after irradiation along with small amount of E’ centres. From the spin counting studies the concentration of defect centres in the glass was calculated to be 350 ppm at 900 kGy. This indicated the fact that bulk of the glass remained unaffected after gamma irradiation up to 900 kGy. 相似文献

The effects of gamma-irradiation on the modification of the surface and structure of multi-walled carbon nanotubes were studied. Gamma-irradiation affected the graphitization properties of functional groups, and decreased the diameter of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The irradiated multi-walled carbon nanotubes with the absorbed dose of 100 kGy exhibited a larger specific surface area and microporous volume as compared with the other samples. The Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the interaction between the gamma-irradiation and the multi-walled carbon nanotubes with the absorbed dose of 150 kGy destroyed the nanostructure of carbons, leading to the formation of diamond-like structures and carbon oxides. In addition, gamma-irradiation with the absorbed dose of 100 kGy improved multi-walled carbon nanotubes graphitization and surface properties while at higher absorbed dose (150 kGy), it induced damaged structures (sp3 bonds and oxygen compositions). 相似文献

The effect of gamma irradiation on hydrothermally synthesized BaTiO3 nanoparticles has been investigated. Gamma irradiation was carried out at room temperature from 0, 50, 100, 150, 200?kGy to a maximum dose up to 250?kGy, source being 60Co gamma radiations. The structure, size and chemical changes of the BaTiO3 were studied using X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR) techniques and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical band gap has been computed by UV–Visible spectroscopy data. From the results obtained, it is evident that the gamma irradiation increases the crystallinity, whereas the particle size of BaTiO3 nanoparticles is altered. UV–Visible spectroscopy shows a noticeable change in the energy band gap due to gamma irradiation. Significant changes in anharmonicity constant computed using FTIR data due to irradiation has been observed. SEM shows the size and deviation from uniformity of particles. 相似文献

A colorless polyvinyl butyral film (PVB) based on radiation-sensitive dye of leucomalachite green (LMG) was investigated as a high-dose dosimeter for gamma radiation processing applications in the dose range of 3–150 kGy. The useful applications for such dose range are food irradiation treatment, medical devices sterilization and polymer modification. Gamma irradiation of the film induces a significant intensity of green color, which can be characterized by a main absorption band at 627 nm and a small band at 425 nm. The variation in response of irradiated film stored in the dark and under laboratory light illumination was less than 3% during the first 6 days of storage. The response of film during irradiation was slightly influenced by relative humidity in the range of 12–76%; however, it was significantly affected by temperature in the range of 5–40 °C. The radiation chemical yield was reported to be 6.76 × 10−6 mol/J at the absorbed dose of 30 kGy for the film containing 6.5% of LMG dye. The overall uncertainty associated with routine dose monitoring would be less than 6% at a 95% confidence level if the dosimeter was being corrected for irradiation conditions and being calibrated with reference standard dosimeter in the production facility. 相似文献

In this article, effect of gamma irradiation on the structural and optical properties of 2-aminopyridinium 4-nitrophenolate 4-nitrophenol (2AP4N) has been reported. The grown crystals of 2AP4N were exposed to 60Co gamma rays with a dose of 50 kGy and 100 kGy. The radiation-induced effects were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, UV–visible, photoluminescence techniques. The refractive index was determined using a long arm spectrometer. The structural properties of the pristine and irradiated crystals were studied using powder XRD. The peak intensity decrease after irradiation may be attributed to the formation of point defects. The UV visible study reveals that the energy gap has decreased after irradiation and then has increased for the higher dose. The intensity variation in the PL spectra is due to colour center mechanism. The SHG efficiency of 2AP4N crystals was found to be unaffected by gamma irradiation. 相似文献

Lithium borate (LiB) glasses in the system (100−x)B2O3-xLi2O with x=20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 mol% were prepared. The glasses were doped with different concentrations of the order of 10−1, 10−2, 10−3, 10−4 and 10−5 of MgO and their thermoluminescent (TL) response was investigated. The irradiations were performed using γ rays from a 60Co source in the dose range from 0.1 to 25 kGy. The material displayed good sensitivity for γ-rays and intensity of TL signals is dependent on γ-ray dose and Li2O content. For each dose level and investigated temperature range (50-350 °C), exactly single isolated glow peak appears in the temperature range of 165-205 °C depending on both Li2O concentrations and time of exposure. The shape of the glow peak has altered significantly with increase in the gamma ray dose or Li2O concentrations. The glass composition with x=50 mol% doped with 10−3 mol% of MgO presented the best TL response. The results of the present study indicated that the recorded single and isolated high temperature peak is a good candidate for TL dosimetric investigations. This indicates that 50 B2O3-50Li2O-doped with 10−3 mol% of MgO is possibly used as materials for radiation dosimetry in the dose range of 0.1-20 kGy. 相似文献

Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolytes were crosslinked using electron beam (EB) irradiation. The gel contents of a polymer film were increased after irradiation doses of 0, 140, 280, and 420 kGy, with ionic conductivities of 0.831, 1.55, 6.08, and 7.95 (× 10? 5) S cm? 1 at 40 °C, respectively. The slight decrease in conductivity at higher temperatures after irradiation is due to the retardation of polymer motion by crosslinking. The electrolyte with higher EB dose amount exhibits higher conductivity due to stabilization of the amorphous state. The EB crosslinking with a co-bridging agent shows enhanced conductivities of 4.71, 6.59, and 7.18 (× 10? 5) S cm? 1 at 40 °C, after irradiation with 140, 280, and 420 kGy. Addition of the co-bridging agent is effective for developing a crosslinked structure with a smaller EB dose. Tensile strength becomes two to three times higher with irradiation compared to the non-treated polymer. Combination of the EB technique with a co-bridging agent is a simple and effective method to prepare strong dry polymer electrolyte films with improved room temperature conductivity. 相似文献

The morphology, chemical composition, and mechanical properties in the surface region of α-irradiated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) have been examined and compared to unirradiated specimens. Samples were irradiated with 5.5 MeV 4He2+ ions from a tandem accelerator to doses between 1 × 106 and 5 × 1010 Rad. Static time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), using a 20 keV C60+ source, was employed to probe chemical changes as a function of α dose. Chemical images and high resolution spectra were collected and analyzed to reveal the effects of α particle radiation on the chemical structure. Residual gas analysis (RGA) was utilized to monitor the evolution of volatile species during vacuum irradiation of the samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphological variation of samples with increasing α particle dose, and nanoindentation was engaged to determine the hardness and elastic modulus as a function of α dose.The data show that PTFE nominally retains its innate chemical structure and morphology at α doses <109 Rad. At α doses ≥109 Rad the polymer matrix experiences increased chemical degradation and morphological roughening which are accompanied by increased hardness and declining elasticity. At α doses >1010 Rad the polymer matrix suffers severe chemical degradation and material loss. Chemical degradation is observed in ToF-SIMS by detection of ions that are indicative of fragmentation, unsaturation, and functionalization of molecules in the PTFE matrix. The mass spectra also expose the subtle trends of crosslinking within the α-irradiated polymer matrix. ToF-SIMS images support the assertion that chemical degradation is the result of α particle irradiation and show morphological roughening of the sample with increased α dose. High resolution SEM images more clearly illustrate the morphological roughening and the mass loss that accompanies high doses of α particles. RGA confirms the supposition that the outcome of chemical degradation in the PTFE matrix with continuing irradiation is evolution of volatile species resulting in morphological roughening and mass loss. Finally, we reveal and discuss relationships between chemical structure and mechanical properties such as hardness and elastic modulus. 相似文献

Surface free energy of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene modified by electron and gamma irradiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Surface free energy of biocompatible polymers is important factor which affects the surface properties such as wetting, adhesion and biocompatibility. In the present work, the change in the surface free energy of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) samples, which is produced by electron beam and gamma ray irradiation were, investigated. Mechanism of the changes in surface free energy induced by irradiations of doses ranging from 25 to 500 kGy was studied. FTIR technique was applied for sample analysis. Contact angle measurements showed that wettability and surface free energy of samples have increased with increasing the irradiation dose, where the values of droplet contact angle of the samples decrease gradually with increasing the radiation dose. The increase in the wettability and surface free energy of the irradiated samples are attributed to formation of hydrophilic groups on the polymer surface by the oxidation, which apparently occurs by exposure of irradiated samples to the air. 相似文献

Photoinduced anisotropy in an azobenzene ionic liquid-crystalline polymer was investigated through dichroism, birefringence and polarization holography. A dichroism degree of 1.58 and a birefringence value Δn ∼ 10−2 were achieved in the polymer film at room temperature, and the polymer film was found to possess the characteristics of reversible and long-term optical storage. Particularly the stored birefringence could be enhanced to Δn ∼ 10−1 by annealing the film, and it is attributed to the thermal self-organization of the molecules. Furthermore, linear- and circular-polarization holographic recordings were accomplished in the polymer film and pure polarization gratings were produced. 相似文献

In order to improve the ease of sample handling, the reproducibility of signal detection and quantification, simple methods of incorporating a homogeneous mixture containing sugar powder (30%) with wax (35%) and rubber (35%) into rods has been adopted. The dose response, the time stability of the free radicals produced in table sugar dosimeters (in both rod and powder form) by gamma radiation and the effect of the temperature during irradiation were studied by EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance). The peak-to-peak height (PPH) measurement of the EPR signal is studied as a function of the absorbed gamma dose in the range 0.1–58 kGy. For the two forms, a linear dependency is found between 0.1 and 26 kGy. At higher doses the EPR signal amplitude continues to grow but non-linear up to 58 kGy. The dependence of temperature during irradiation has been investigated in the temperature range 25–40 °C and the calculated correction coefficients were found (2.7 ± 0.2)% °C?1 and (1.5 ± 0.3)% °C?1, respectively, for powder and rod forms. The time stability of the stored sugar samples was investigated for 34 days at room temperature, a rapid decrease of EPR signal was showed immediately after irradiation followed by slowly decrease. 相似文献

The effects of electron beam irradiation on electrical and spectrometric properties of semi-insulating (SI) GaAs detectors were studied. The electric properties were monitored by reverse and forward current–voltage characteristics. In general, a breakdown voltage decrease with the dose was observed. However, some samples showed a local increase in the breakdown voltage at doses between 5 and 10?kGy. The detector spectrometric properties (the charge collection efficiency (CCE), the energy resolution and the detection efficiency) were evaluated from measured spectra of the 241Am radionuclide gamma source before and after electron irradiation. The CCE and energy resolution showed minor changes after irradiation. The detection efficiency noticed an initial increase (up to a dose of 5?kGy) followed by a permanent decrease. At 30?kGy, the overall degradation of detector functionality was observed with all samples. 相似文献

In this study, PSL of non-irradiated and irradiated corrugated fiberboards (CFs) was investigated to evaluate the possibility that CFs can be used as alternative specimens for the screening detection method of food irradiation. The irradiation at a dose of only 0.15 kGy increased PSL signals of the CF over 1 order of magnitude. The PSL signals increased with increasing in gamma irradiation dose and became almost saturated at a dose of 5 kGy. The core of CFs showed PSL signals sufficient for distinguishing irradiated from non-irradiated at least 6 months after irradiation even though the CF was exposed to light and the environmental temperature increased to 50 °C. These results suggest that the PSL property of the core of CFs is useful for detecting irradiation. However, the large variation of PSL signals among CFs made it difficult to set a well-defined “positive” threshold limit to distinguish irradiated from non-irradiated completely. All of the non-irradiated CFs showed PSL signals above 103 counts, which is much higher than that detected for foods. It is apparent that the threshold limit of EN 13751 is not applicable to detecting irradiated CFs. More detailed collaborative research with large number of samples is needed to establish new threshold limits involving “intermediate” classification. 相似文献

The cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures grown on sapphire substrate were studied before and after gamma irradiation treatment. The CL spectroscopy results reveal strong yellow and blue luminescence transformation under gamma radiation treatment. The changes in CL spectra are compared with changes in the electrical characteristics of two-dimensional gas in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. The origins of the observed improvement in properties of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures after gamma radiation treatment with 1 × 106 rad are discussed on the basis of compensation and structural ordering of native defects. 相似文献

ABSTRACTSamples from sheets of the polymeric material Makrofol LS 1–1 have been exposed to gamma radiation in the dose range 10–250?kGy. The modifications induced in Makrofol samples due to gamma irradiation have been studied through different characterization techniques such as intrinsic viscosity as a measure of the average molecular mass, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy FTIR, refractive index and color difference studies. The results indicate that the crosslinking dominates at the dose range 50–250?kGy. The crosslinking reported by viscosity measurements is supported by the trend of the function groups present in the sample with the gamma dose. Also, the increase in intrinsic viscosity indicating an increase in the average molecular mass was associated with an increase in the refractive index. Additionally, the non-irradiated Makrofol samples showed significant color sensitivity towards gamma irradiation. The color intensity ΔE, which is the color difference between the non-irradiated sample and those irradiated with different gamma doses, increased (0–5.56) with increasing the dose up to 250?kGy, convoyed by an increase in the red and yellow color components. 相似文献
