Radiation and hydrogen in glass
The effects of ionizing radiation (e.g., beams of electrons of {gamma}-radiation) on silica and borosilicate glasses are summarized in this review article. In Part 1, irradiation in the absence of hydrogen is considered. The combined effects of hydrogen and irradiation are treated in Part 2. Descriptions and, if available, mechanisms of changes in the glass properties are discussed. Several experimental variables which may affect the outcome of an irradiation procedure are also outlined. 47 refs.
