FORMATION OF COLOR CENTERS IN SODIUM SILICATE AND QUARTZ GLASSES UNDER THE ACTION OF GAMMA RADIATION

Journal Article · · Optics and Spectroscopy (U.S.S.R.) (English Translation)
OSTI ID:4817687
The dependence of the intensity of the induced absorption bands in fused quartz and sodium silicate glasses on the gamma dose is studied, as well as the influence of cerium, anti mony, arsenic, manganese, iron, and lead additives on the properties of the absorption bands of sodium silicate glasses. The uniformity of the color centers produced in glass under the influence of radiation is demonstrated. Anomalies are noted in the dependence of the optical absorption curves on the radiation dose in the case of fused quartz and sodium silicate glass treated with Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/ at doses of approximately 10/sup 5/ and 10/sup 6/ roentgens. It is suggested that these anomalies are due to the presence of impurities or to specific melting conditions. (auth)
