The influence of long time X-ray irradiation on structure and electronic transitions of poleskiy amber and silica
Abstract
The paper deals with the effect of long-term X-ray irradiation with energies up to 60 keV on the structure and electronic transitions of poleskiy amber and silica. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the samples had an amorphous structure without crystalline inclusions. Long-time irradiation of poleskiy amber and silica samples (absorbed dose of up to 2800 roentgens) did not lead to noticeable changes in the X-ray diffraction patterns. Electronic transitions were studied by luminescence spectrum analysis. The luminescence spectrum of silica did not change during x-ray irradiation, in contrast to the amber case. The intensity of amber light, which is associated with relaxation of electronic transition with an energy of 2.7 eV, decreased substantially, while it almost did not change for the transition with an energy of 2.25 eV.
