Description

In this study the thermoluminescence (TL) of oxidized Zirconium, Zirconium Alloys and of Zirconium oxides doped with various additives was investigated as a function of thickness of oxide film, absorbed dose, time of oxidation and concentration of additives (Cu2+, Cr3+, Sn2+, Mo6+, Fe3+, Ti4+, Nb5+). Good correlations between the kinetics of oxidation and integral yields of TL were found. It was shown that resistance of Zr oxides doped with ions of various metals directly correlates with an intensity of TL. Thermoluminescence is discussed as a potential method for the investigation of corrosion processes, particularly under irradiation. (author). 5 refs, 10 figs, 1 tab
