Abstract
We compare the , H(I) and Si-ODC(II) contents in
a low-OH high-purity a-SiO2 both in bulk and fibre forms. The investigation
includes the effects of hydrogen loading of the fibre.We
found that the H(I) centre appears during irradiation and that its
concentration tends to increase with the dose in fibers impregnated
with molecular hydrogen. For the hydrogen-treated fibers, no experimental
repeatability could be found in the measurements of
and Si-ODC(II) although an acceptable agreement was still found
in non-hydrogenated samples. This result suggests a possible complex
reaction mechanisms under gamma radiation when the glass
has a hydrogen excess.
