Samples of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ superconducting ceramic were prepared and characterized by resistivity measurements using the four probe method and structural analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD-patterns show the presence of orthorhombic Y -123 phase with a small fraction of secondary phase, YBa 2 Cu 3 O 5. Samples were irradiated with gamma (γ) rays using Co 60 source with five successive doses of 2.5 Mrad. A monotonic increase in the Tc0 value was observed for radiation dosage up to 10 Mrad. When exposed to even higher γ-doses, the Tc0 value leveled off at a saturation value or decreased. XRD-analysis shows slightly changed values of the lattice constants and a mild shift of diffraction peaks towards a lower 2θ value. These observations indicate structural changes in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ induced upon gamma irradiation. The present work describes our experimental findings and attempts to offer a theoretical explanation for the effects observed.

X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of Nd-doped phosphate glasses have been studied before and after gamma irradiation. The intensity and the location of the white line peak of theL3-edge XANES of Nd are found to be dependent on the ratio O/Nd in the glass matrix. Gamma irradiation changes the elemental concentration of atoms in the glass matrix, which affects the peak intensity of the white line due to changes in the covalence of the chemical bonds with Nd atoms in the glass (structural changes). Sharpening of the Nd 3d5/2peak profile in XPS spectra indicates a deficiency of oxygen in the glasses after gamma irradiation, which is supported by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements. The ratio of non-bridging oxygen to total oxygen in the glass after gamma radiation has been found to be correlated to the concentration of defects in the glass samples, which are responsible for its radiation resistance as well as for its coloration.

Abstract One of the most important applications of gamma irradiation is in the area of polymer modification. Nylon fibers that were gamma-irradiated with a dose higher than 25 kGy show fusion temperature and fusion enthalpy higher than the nonirradiated nylon. Nevertheless, under certain applications, the influence of nylon-irradiated fibers is noticeable below 50 kGy; therefore, physicochemical characterization is indispensable. In the present work, nylon 6,12 crystalline fibers were irradiated at low dose (from 1 to 25 kGy) at environmental conditions to confirm the thermal behavior. The melting point and fusion enthalpy were measured with differential scanning calorimetry; structural changes were studied using infrared spectroscopy; and fiber surface morphology was studied using atomic force microscopy. The results show an increase in both fusion temperature and fusion enthalpy, which are effects of the newly ordered high-molecular-weight oligo­mers. Recrystallization and oligomer formation can be observed in infrared spectra. Such behaviors are directly related to the partial damage over the surface and the mechanical performance of manufactured composites.
