TSL and EPR studies of uranium doped ZnNb2O6

  • 1. Radiochemistry Div., Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)

Description

ZnNb2O6 doped with uranium has been prepared by solid state reaction process. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) evidence is presented for the stabilization of pentavalent uranium in ZnNb2O6 matrix doped with hexavalent uranium. Thermal stabilities of U5+ was investigated by EPR and thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) techniques. The TSL and EPR studies on gamma irradiated uranium doped in ZnNb2O6 samples had shown that the broad TSL peak at 518 K is associated with the reduction in the intensity of EPR signal of U5+ ion around this temperature. This peak is associated with the process U5+ + hole -> U6+* -> U6+ + hn. (author)
