Radiation Coloration in Sodium Aluminium Silicate Glasses

JSGT 1956 V40 T462-T469

Three absorption bands are produced in sodium aluminium silicate glasses by gamma radiation. Each absorption band may be associated with a specific oxide component of the glass. The effects on the absorption spectrum by additions of alumina to the glass suggest that the aluminium atom replaces the silicon atom in the glass network.
