A recycled commercial glass sample doped small amounts of cobalt to give blue glass. A change in its color upon being exposed to gamma-radiation according to the irradiation doses has been identified. The effect of irradiation on the optical, thermal and electrical properties of the glass is studied. The optical, properties of the irradiated glasses vary significantly from those of the unirradiated glasses. All the peaks intensity increased with the increase of the irradiation doses except the peak at 280 nm where it is shifted to a higher wavelength upon irradiation, but its intensity decreased at the highest irradiation dose of 100 kGy. The optical energy band gap decreased with the increase of the irradiation dose for both direct and indirect E_g. FTIR spectra reveal IR vibrational bands which are characteristics to the three specific characteristic structural building units within the silicate glasses. The absorbance of peaks at 960, 1015 cm⁻¹, which represents stretching NBOs (SiO₂) and stretching of bridging oxygen (SiO₄) respectively have been tracked. The increase of the band at 960 cm⁻¹ can be stated to the increase in the amount of NBOs, when the glass samples are exposed to gamma irradiation. The thermal study showed that both T_g and T_c increased progressively upon irradiation. The increase in dielectric conductivity (DC) as the irradiation doses increase is attributed to the effect of ionizing radiation, which induces a photo-oxidation due to the excitation of the electrons in the lower valence. The obtained glasses seem to be promising materials and can be used in accident dosimetry applications or as potential dosimeter.

回收的商业玻璃样品掺杂少量钴以产生蓝色玻璃。根据照射剂量，暴露于伽马辐射后其颜色会发生变化。研究了辐照对玻璃的光学、热学和电学性能的影响。辐照玻璃的光学性质与未辐照玻璃的光学性质有很大不同。除 280 nm 处的峰在辐照时移至更高波长外，所有峰强度都随着辐照剂量的增加而增加，但在最高辐照剂量 100 kGy 处强度下降。直接和间接E _{g 的}光能带隙随着辐照剂量的增加而减小. FTIR 光谱揭示了 IR 振动带，这是硅酸盐玻璃内三个特定特征结构构建单元的特征。960、1015 cm ^-1处的吸光度分别代表拉伸 NBO (SiO ₂ ) 和架桥氧 (SiO ₄ ) 的拉伸已被跟踪。当玻璃样品暴露于伽马辐射时，960 cm ^-1带的增加可以说是 NBO 量的增加。热学研究表明，T _g和 T _c辐照后逐渐增加。随着辐射剂量的增加，介电电导率 (DC) 的增加归因于电离辐射的影响，由于低价电子的激发，电离辐射引起光氧化。获得的玻璃似乎是有前途的材料，可用于事故剂量测定应用或作为潜在剂量计。
