Geminate recombination of quasi-free electrons in liquid water
Description
The mechanism of geminate recombination of quasi-free electrons in liquid water was considered. The recombination occurs at electrostatic disequilibrium and the recombination time is comparable with the time of electrostatic polarization of the medium. The major contribution to the recombination is made by ion pairs that are formed via direct ionization rather than autoionization. The mechanism of formation of hydrogen atoms at the early stage of radiolysis of a strongly alkaline aqueous solution is analyzed. The radiation resistance of liquid water with respect to the formation of hydrogen atoms is explained
