Effects of ionizing irradiation on defect creation processes have been studied in rare earth (RE)-doped (RE = Sm, Gd, Eu, Ce, Nd) aluminoborosilicate glass with use of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical spectroscopy. As a function of RE ion nature, we observe that doping significantly influences the nature of the defects produced during irradiation and more specifically the relative proportions between hole and electron defect centers. Strong decrease of defect production efficiency under ionizing radiation independence on both the RE doping content and on the relative stability of the RE different oxidation states is also clearly revealed. The results could be explained by dynamical reversible trapping of the electron-hole pairs produced during irradiation on the different RE charge states as well as by RE segregation and pre-existing defects speciation in ABS glass structure.

It has been observed that the defect centers on the surface play a crucial role in the conductivity behavior of ZnO. Above 300 °C only surface defects can be visible in EPR spectra for ZnO nanocrystals which indicate p-type conductivity.

Regulation of the use of ionizing radiation for treating food products and agricultural raw materials in Russia in 2017 suggests a wide dissemination of radiation technologies in the food industry, but manufacturers of food products processed by ionizing radiation do not indicate on the label the relevant information. Because of this, the identification of the domestic consumer market of food products processed by ionizing radiation will reduce the number of violations of requirements of state standard State standards (GOST) 33800-2016 “Production of food irradiated. General labeling requirements”. To determine whether irradiation of food raw materials and foodstuff, used the method of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), with each of the food products treated by ionizing radiation has its own characteristic EPR spectrum. In this regard, the aim of the research is to identify the dependence of the parameters of the EPR spectrum from meat, fish and poultry treated with ionizing radiation. Samples of bone tissue (SBT) meat, fish and poultry were subjected to radiation treatment with a linear electron accelerator model UELR-10-10С2 with energies up to 10 MeV. Studies of samples were carried out on the portable automated EPR spectrometer brand Labrador Expert X-band. Found that despite treatment samples of bone tissue with the same dose of ionizing radiation (12 kGy), the EPR signal depends on the type of vertebrates, the structure of the tissue sample, and other factors. Bone samples of beef and pork have a higher sensitivity to irradiation. Recorded a steady correlation between increasing the area of the EPR signal parameters: amplitude is of 0.99, the width of the peak signal, respectively 0,979 (the degree of strength of statistical relationships Chedoke very high). Processing of the obtained results of the EPR spectrum provides a high degree of confidence (p≤0.05) to identify how previously non-irradiated and radiation-processed various meats, fish and poultry.

ABSTRACTGamma- and UV-induced defect centers in germanium and fluorine doped silica have been studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The complex spectrum at g≃2 in γ-irradiated germanium doped glass corresponds to a superposition of resonances from several germanium E′-centers. In UV-irradiated samples, however, the EPR spectrum is dominated by only one type of germanium E′-centers. Significant spectral simplification of γ-irradiated germanium doped silica can be achieved by heating or broadband photoirradiation. Similar results are observed in multimode germanium doped core optical fibers. UV-induced optical loss spectra in the 0.5–1.5 μm wavelength range were also measured in these core fibers as well as the growth kinetics of the UL-induced absorption. Gamma-irradiation of fluorine doped silica generated two different types of silicon E′-centers, Ea1. At lower radiation dose one sees a mixture of Ea1 and Ea2, but at higher radiation dose Ea2 dominates. A spectrum dominated by the Ea2 variant is also observed in LW-irradiated samples and in photobleached low gamma dose samples.

Glasses in the NiO–TiO2 system in the composition range 15 to 25 mol% of NiO have been synthesized by the sol-gel technique by heat treatment of the precursor sol at 500°C. The glass structure is built up by crosslinking of two units, namely TiO6 octahedron and NiO3 triangle. Glassy structure is confirmed at a microscopic level by scanning electron microscopy. An increase in the values of peak-to-peak width of electron paramagnetic resonance with increasing concentration of Ni2+ is attributed to an enhanced interaction between neighboring paramagnetic Ni2+ ions.
