Abstract
This study aims to learn more about the structure of densified silica with focus on the metamict-like silica phase (density = 2.26 g/cm3) by examining the formation of E’ point defects and interstitial molecular oxygen O2 by 2.5 MeV electron irradiation. High-dose (11 GGy) irradiation creates a metamict-like phase and a large amount of interstitial O2, which is destroyed upon subsequent additional lower-dose electron irradiation. The O2 cathodoluminescence (CL) data indicate that the formation of O2 from peroxy linkages Si–O–O–Si in silica network is strongly dependent on the intertetrahedral void sizes. The position and shape of the O2 emission line support the idea that the configuration of these voids in metamict phase is close to that of non-densified silica. Moreover, data support the strong correlation between the formation of 3-membered rings of Si–O bonds and E’-centers when silica density increases from 2.20 to 2.26 g/cm3.
