Infrared Absorption Spectra of Some Gamma Irradiated Borate Glasses Containing Nickel and Titanium Ions

Abstract

 INFRARED absorption spectroscopy for a number of borate number of borate glasses containing nickel and titanium nickel and titanium ions was carried out before and after subjecting to gamma radiations. All glasses were melted in Pt-2% Rh crucibles in an electrically heated furnace at 1100°C for two hours.
All measurements were recorded using a Jasco FT/IR-300 E infrared spectrophotometer in the range of (4000-200) cm
-1.
The response of the glasses studied to γ-rays radiation is related to the formation, accumulation and annihilation of induced defects and hence the observed changes in the FTIR spectra can be utilized to confirm the changes in the structure arrangements of the building groups after irradiation.
