Abstract: | We investigated the radiation damage induced by thermal neutron capture of98Mo in γ-Mo4O11 by measuring the99Mo(β−)99Tc nuclear quadrupole interaction by time differential perturbed angular correlations. At room temperature, a fraction of
about 20% of all activated Mo-atoms exhibits a large quadrupole interaction of ω1=550 Mrad/s and an asymmetry parameters of η≊0.75, practically independent of the dose in the range from 7.9·1016 to 7.8·1018 n/cm2. We attribute this signal to Mo-atoms with a near-neighbour oxygen vacancy which was created in a knock-on process following
prompt de-excitation by gamma emission after the thermal neutron capture. |
