Abstract
The effect of 1.7 MeV electrons on the coloration of fluorozirconate (ZBL) and fluorohafnate (HBL) glasses has been investigated. Irradiation can produce intense broad absorption bands at 325 nm and 253 nm in the glasses. However, the size and shape of the absorption bands in zirconate-based glass (ZBLA) which has Al 3+ ions as network stabilizers is different from those in ZBL and HBL glass. The optical absorption bands due to self-trapped hole centers can be assigned from dichroic absorption measurements. It appears that the radiolysis damage mechanism may contribute to the coloration of these fluoride glasses.
