Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The loss of electrons trapped in alkaline glasses containing acceptors at low temperature has been studied by pulsed radiolysis.

  2. 2.

    The length of the tunnel path (10–20 Å) for electron transfer to the acceptor is such as to give a constant rate of trapped-electron loss over a wide range of temperatures.

  3. 3.

    The kinetics of electron stabilization by the solvent can be described in terms of a solvent-acceptor competition for free-electron capture with subsequent tunnel loss of the trapped electrons.
