Abstract
Raman intensity ratio ID/IG was analyzed for 2B and 9B graphite-rich pencil rods of 2.6 mm thickness were irradiated by (a) Ultraviolet (UV) sources of 1.12 mW and 2.7 mW; (b) photons doses from 1 to 20 Gy delivered by an Elekta Linac. Additionally, an electrical characterization was carried out using the UV source to analyze the electrical properties of the materials. Graphite exhibits an oscillatory behavior due to the creation and annihilation of defects, thanks to sp2 and sp3 hybridizations in the hexagonal structure. This behavior is observed with both ionizing and non-ionizing sources. Proving that this phenomenon does not depends on the thickness of the material. For the 2B irradiated with UV of 1.12 mW, an underdamped response is observed, for which a mathematical model is presented. Nevertheless, 9B samples exhibit a “fading” response, maintaining the behavior for up to two weeks after the irradiation. In the electrical characterization, this phenomenon has been analyzed before, but the model was compared to a discharge of a capacitor is presented. The results confirmed the behavior of the material mentioned in other articles, but it also shows that the Raman intensity decreases with time, as well as the material's capacity to discharge as a capacitor.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
