Oxidation state variation under beta-irradiation in an iron-bearing soda lime glass system
International audienceThe effect of ionizing radiation on glasses in the system SiO2-CaO-Na2O-Fe2O3 is investigated as a function of iron concentration or / and irradiation dose by a pre-edge analysis at the iron K-edge. While reduction phenomenon is clearly observed for large irradiation doses (5 C), the effect of irradiation for intermediate doses is more challenging to interpret. Comparison between X-ray absorption measurements, colorimetry results and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance measurements suggest that iron environment may be modified without the ions being reduced
