Abstract

The effects of high gamma-irradiation doses (50-300 kGy) on natural quartz crystals have been investigated by ESR technique. The ESR spectrum carried out at low temperature (120K) displayed lines group of Al center. The higher amount of gamma doses affected ESR spectra by increasing of intensity, especially the increasing intensity in the range of the Al center. The complex ESR spectra of Al center observed to contain 9 peaks that did not reach saturation even though the level of gamma-irradiation dose was as high as 300 kGy. The total area under ESR spectra of Al center was increased as a polynomial function of irradiated dose. The overlapping of ESR signal from defects in the range of Al center was also investigated.
