An increase in the line width of the narrow component with radiation dose is more marked in bulk HD specimens, and is ascribed to crosslinking in the radiation-sensitive amorphous region; whereas no such increase is apparent for the SC specimen. Though there seems to be a slight increase in the second moment of the total absorption curve with radiation up to about 200 Mrad, both the second moment and the line width of the broad component was found to decrease with radiation dose for both the samples. This indicates an increased chain mobility in the crystalline regions and is considered to be due to the destruction of regularity in the crystal lattices by the combined processes of crosslinking (or endlinking) in the amorphous regions and the formation of lattice defects and imperfections by the ionizing radiation. A relatively faster decrease of line width with radiation dose above about 1000 Mrad may be attributed to the predominance of the latter process at high doses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100688,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"8 4","pages":"Pages 497-501"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0020-7055(76)90013-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86049145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall spectrum is then assembled in digital form by interpolating the fitted data on a 1 nm grid and the results are stored on cassette files for further processing. Composite spectra can be readily calculated and plotted from the data on these files or known components can be subtracted from observed spectra to examine underlying contributions. The use of the fairly simple data processing methods described here permits an interactive mode of operation by the investigator which can maximize insight into details of the various contributions to an observed spectrum.
