Abstract
Borosilicate glass has been extensively studied due to its unique properties of solidifying high-level radioactive waste (HLW). However, the responses of borosilicate glass under γ irradiation are not fully understood. In this work, NBS9 and NBS10 glass were irradiated by γ-rays at absorbed doses of 8 kGy and 800 kGy, respectively. Scanning electronic microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) were used to observe the surface morphology and elemental distributions. The results show that the borosilicate glass remains stable until the absorbed dose was up to 800 kGy. At 800 kGy, the samples precipitate particles composed of Na and O on the surface. Na and B near the surface are significantly reduced under γ-rays irradiation. The results indicate that the effects of γ irradiation on glass vitrification are obvious with certain accumulated doses. The changes of glass structures and elemental distributions by γ-ray irradiation are also dependent on glass compositions.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Applied Glass Science (IJAGS) endeavors to be an indispensable source of information dealing with the application of glass science and engineering across the entire materials spectrum. Through the solicitation, editing, and publishing of cutting-edge peer-reviewed papers, IJAGS will be a highly respected and enduring chronicle of major advances in applied glass science throughout this century. It will be of critical value to the work of scientists, engineers, educators, students, and organizations involved in the research, manufacture and utilization of the material glass. Guided by an International Advisory Board, IJAGS will focus on topical issue themes that broadly encompass the advanced description, application, modeling, manufacture, and experimental investigation of glass.
