Radiation-induced effects in neutron- and electron-irradiated lithium silicate ceramic breeder pebbles
2020
Abstract Ceramic breeder (CB) pebbles consisting of lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) as the main phase and lithium metasilicate (Li2SiO3) as a secondary phase were analysed with respect to radiation-induced defects and radiolysis products. Therefore, pebbles that were irradiated with neutrons in the so-called HICU experiment ( H igh neutron fluence i rradiation of pebble sta c ks for f u sion) were compared to pebbles irradiated with accelerated electrons and to an unirradiated sample. Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate changes in the phase composition. Beside an expected increase in the second phase in the neutron-irradiated samples, no further significant …
X-ray induced defects in advanced lithium orthosilicate pebbles with additions of lithium metatitanate
2019
Abstract Advanced lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) pebbles with additions of lithium metatitanate (Li2TiO3) as a secondary phase have attracted international attention as an alternative solid-state candidate for the tritium breeding in future nuclear fusion reactors. In this research, the generation of radiation-induced defects in the Li4SiO4 pebbles with various contents of Li2TiO3 was analysed in-situ by X-ray induced luminescence technique. After irradiation with X-rays, the accumulated radiation-induced defects in the Li4SiO4 pebbles were studied by electron spin resonance, thermally stimulated luminescence and absorption spectrometry. On the basis of the obtained results, it is conclude…

Spectral and kinetic characteristics of pyroelectric luminescence in LiGaO2
2019
Abstract Pyroelectric luminescence was observed in noncentrosymmetrical crystal LiGaO2 with the direct band gap around 6 eV. For the first time spectral and kinetic characteristics of pyroelectric luminescence were obtained. The temporal structure of the PEL signal was determined as a sequence of pulses with duration not longer than several nanoseconds. This allowed proposing of the luminescence mechanism: in vacuum conditions in LiGaO2 crystal pyroelectric luminescence occurs inside the sample due to radiative recombination of electrons with the positively charged intrinsic luminescence centres.
