Paramagnetic centers in irradiated ammonium nitrate

Journal Article · · High Energy Chemistry
OSTI ID:224076
The EPR spectra of irradiated single crystals of NH{sub 4}NO{sub 3} were obtained. The paramagnetic centers NO{sub 3}, ONOO, N0{sub 3}{sup 2-} at 77 K, and NO{sub 2} observed in the 160-290 K region were identified. The doublet of bands of 220 < T < 250 K was hypothetically assigned to the formation of an OH radical. The parameters of the EPR spectra and orientation of the radicals in the crystal lattice were determined. The initial radiochemical yields of NO{sub 3}, ONOO, and NO{sub 3}{sup 2-} radicals were estimated. 10 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
