Glass structure responses to gamma irradiation using infrared absorption spectroscopy and ultrasonic techniques: A comparative study between Co_2O_3 and Fe_2O_3

摘要

The response of glass to radiation was investigated using ultrasonic and FT1R spectroscopy. New materials were prepared from borosilicate-based glass with different cobalt and iron oxide compositions. The results indicate that the glass structures were most responsive to irradiation at 1500 Gy. Moreover, the results show that the radiation effect decreases when the cobalt and iron oxide compositions increase. These results are relevant to studies on high-dose processing, radio-pharmacy and storage.
