The spectral character of the optical absorption produced by ionizing radiation in several fibers and fiber materials has been measured. The nature of the damage has been identified in some of the samples and preliminary work has been successful in synthesizing radiation-protected soda lime silicate glasses for fiber applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
