Radiation-induced luminescence from sol-gel silica glasses and phosphosilicate glasses by 1 MeV H+ and 3 MeV Zr2+ irradiations

Abstract Radiation-induced luminescence (RIL) spectra have been applied to the study of photon emission from sol-gel silica glasses and phosphosilicate glasses. For the silica glass specimen, the irradiation of 1 MeV H + and 3 MeV Zr 2+ are investigated with the Red band at 1.9 eV and the Blue band at 2.7 eV, respectively. For the phosphosilicate glass specimen, the effects of ion irradiation are restrained by the peculiar defects.
