DEFECTS IN NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC QUARTZ

Journal Article · · Phys. and Chem. Solids
Thermoluminescence measurements of quartz (both irradiated and naturally colored) were made from room temperature to 375 deg C. Various peaks of the light intensity vs. temperature curves were identified with absorption maxima in- the 190 to 1000 m mu spectral region. The method is extremely sensitive to radiation dose, well-defined peaks being observed for very short x-irradiation times ( approximately 1 sec). Data from literature are presented on x-irradiated natural quartz, smoky quartz and on x-irradiated synthetic quartz with various additives. (auth)
