Effect of gamma-Radiation on Certain Optical Properties of Synthetic Ruby

摘要

Crystals of bright pink ruby were examined (content Cr2O3 0.2%) to investigate the appearance of color centers, their dependence upon dosage of radiation, stability of these centers, as well as the process of their decolorization. We bombarded with gamma rays Co60 with a dosage capacity of 350 r/sec at a temperature in the source of 34C.
