Radiation damage produced in single crystal of iminodiacetic acid hydrobromide

The effect of gamma irradiation on the structural properties of olivine

Gamma irradiation studies of (Mg_0.905Fe_0.095)₂SiO₄ olivine were performed using X-ray fluorescence method, X-ray diffraction, Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The absorbed doses were 300, 600 and 1000 Gy. Small irradiation doses cause an increase of lattice vibrations and small deformation of both M1 and M2 octahedron. The observed effect is similar to the results expose to high temperature. However, the small deformation takes place only in unit cell of Olivine’s structure.

Structure and behaviour of the free radicals generated in gamma irradiated amino acid and iminodiacetic acid derivatives

An EPR study has been carried out to investigate the structure and behaviour of the free radical formed γ-irradiated l-alaninamide hydrochloride, dl-glutamic acid monohydrate and N-(2-carboxyethyl) iminodiacetic acid powders at room temperature. The observed paramagnetic species have been attributed to the CH(3)ĊHCONH(2), HOOCCH(2)CH(2)ĊHCOOH and HOOCCH(2)CH(2)NĊHCH(2)(COOH)(2) radicals, respectively. Some spectroscopic properties and suggestions concerning possible structure of the radicals were also discussed in this study.
