Abstract

The induced optical and EPR absorption spectra of phosphate and fluoride glasses containing lead are investigated. It is revealed that exposure to gamma radiation leads to the formation of radiation-induced defects responsible for the induced absorption band with a maximum at 12500–13500 cm−1 and the EPR signal in the form of an almost symmetric line with a g factor of 1.999 and a linewidth of ≈26 Oe. Analysis of the intensities of the absorption bands and the EPR signals in the spectra of glasses with low terbium, tin, and carbon contents and the study of their thermal bleaching demonstrate that the color centers are electron traps, whereas the paramagnetic centers are hole-trapping centers. Examination of the change in the parameters of the absorption bands in the spectra of glasses with different R 2O contents (R = Na, K, Rb, Cs) makes it possible to determine the location of the color centers associated with the Pb+ ions in the structure. It is established that the glasses under investigation are characterized by the nonlinear absorption of radiation at a wavelength of 1.06 µm. The mechanism of formation of radiation-induced defects is considered.
