The Effect of Small Doses of Gamma Radiation on the Structural Characteristics in Silicon

Abstract

Experimental studies were carried out by two different sources of gamma quanta. Samples were irradiated gamma - quantum radioisotope source 226Ra and electron accelerator braking gamma radiation - betatron Saratov state university. The form of the diffractograms shows the high crystallinity of the samples under study. The effect of gamma rays of radium led to a slight shift of the maximum of the reflex relative to the angle 2θ=29.18° to the left and a decrease in its width. The structure of the samples irradiated with γ-quanta of the bremsstrahlung of the betatron, according to the measurements, has undergone more significant and unexpected changes.
