Radiation damage in calcium sulfate

Description

We used the techniques of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) to study the free radicals produced by X-radiation in natural crystals of Gypsum (CaSO42H20). We observed the formation of four free radicals. The spectra of these radicals are overlapped, being separated by power and temperature variation measurements. Two radicals were univocal identified, as being of OH+ and 02H+. We suggest the assignment of SO4- and O2- to two other radicals. From angular variation measurements, we determined the components of tensors ↔g and ↔A of the radicals OH- and O2H-. (author)
