Abstract
The results of the investigation of post-irradiation thermo- and photo-stimulated phenomena concerning radiation-induced color centers (RCC) in quartz and silica glasses are presented and discussed in detail. The new concept was suggested and developed to explain the formation processes of RCC in silica glasses. Because of impurities (hydrogen, chlorine, etc.) in so-called ‘high-purity’ silica glasses and because of free-radical-type defects (E′ centers and non-bridging oxygen hole centers) in their networks, the proccesses of RCC formation can be considered not only from the solid state physics point of view, but also as complex thermo- and photo-chemical post-radiation reactions.
