Differential calorimeter and temperature controller for stored energy measurements in irradiated alkali halides; Calorimetro diferencial y controlador de temperatura para medidas de energia almacenada en haluros alcalinos irradiados

Abstract

The design and performance of a simple temperature-controlled differential calorimeter are presented. This system allows to measure radiation-induced stored energy in insulators, above room temperature with a differential thermal analysis method. With platelets of KC1 single crystals, the base lines obtained for T{sub 2} T{sub 1} (with T{sub 2}: irradiated sample temperature and T{sub 1}: reference sample temperature) show a smooth drift less of 0,2 degree centigree in the interval from 25 to 400 degree centigree. The discrepancy between two consecutive base lines is less than {+-} 0,02 degree centigree which implies a calorimeter sensitivity of about {+-}0,004 cal/g. This sensitivity allows to measure stored energy release in samples with a color center concentration low enough to be directly measured with a spectrophotometer so that a search for correlations among the features of the stored energy spectrum and the color center annealing can be made.
