为研究放射性核素固化介质备选矿物锆英石的抗1射线辐照结构稳定性,以澳大利亚锆英石为研究对象,通过^60Co源γ射线辐照装置对样品施以1728 kGy的1射线辐照.利用X射线荧光光谱仪、扫描电子显微镜和X射线衍射仪对样品的元素含量、γ射线辐照前后的微观形貌及物相变化进行表征,同时利用Rietveld方法对γ射线辐照前后的样品进行了结构精修.结果表明:澳大利亚锆英石经1728 kGy剂量的γ射线辐照后未发生物相变化,射线辐照前后样品的晶胞参数仅发生了10^-4А量级的变化,样品辐照后表面形貌未发现被明显损伤迹象.表明γ射线对锆英石晶体结构无序化程度影响有限,锆英石具有较好的抗γ射线辐照结构稳定性.
In order to investigate the structural stability for zircon in mothball waste form of radionuclide to resist γ-ray irradiation, the zircon crystals, which are collected from Australia, are studied. The crystal grains are irradiated by a^60 Co γ-ray source with 1728 kGy doses. The chemical compositions of zircons are analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). Moreover, phases, structures and microstructures of the samples before and after γ-ray irradiation are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the new phases are not found in the crystals before and after γ-ray irradiation with 1728 kGy. The crystal cell parameters change by 10^-4А before and after irradiation. Moreover, no obvious damage to the structure is found in the zircon irradiated by γ-ray with 1728 kGy dose. So, the zircon possesses a better capability to resistγ-ray irradiation which hardly influence the degree of disorder for zircon.
