ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE STUDIES OF THERMAL EFFECTS IN IRRADIATED AMINO ACIDS

Journal Article · · Physics in Medicine and Biology (England)
Radicals induced by irradiation of glycine with high energy electrons were investigated by the electron spin resonance technique. At a dose rate of 130 kr/sec it was found that an exposure to doses greater than 50 Mr leads to a decrease in the number of radicals with increasing dose. The shape of the signal was also found to change. By heating and cooling the samples during irradiation it was shown that the effects observed were due to thermal annealing. Possible theoretical explanations are discussed. (P.C.H.)
