Abstract

The changes in optical properties and damage mechanism of ZnO/silicone white paint caused by <200 keV protons in space were investigated in terms of ground-based simulation testing. The energies of protons were chosen as 50, 90, and 110 keV. The results show that the change in solar absorptance s increases with increasing irradiation fluence as well as the proton energy. On the basis of photoluminescence spectroscopy, it is revealed that with increasing proton fluence, the 660-nm emission band related to the interstitial Zn-ions changes little, the 405-nm emission band related to the Zn vacancies decreases and tends to disappear, the 460-nm emission band related to the double ionized oxygen vacancies VO  decreases, and the emission band
