Formation of Color Centers and Concentration of Defects in Boron Carbide Irradiated at Low Gamma Radiation Doses

In the present work, boron-carbide (B4C) samples (purity of 99.5% and density of 1.80 g/cm3) were irradiated by using gamma radiation from a 60Co gamma source. Gamma irradiation of the samples was carried out at doses 48.5, 97, 145.5 and 194 kGy. The samples were analysed using a UV-V Gary 50 Scan s... View More
