Postradiation Changes in Conductivity in Irradiated Ammonium Perchlorate,
Abstract
The electrical conductivity of NH4ClO4 changed considerably after irradiation by gamma-Co60, 4.5 Mev protons or X-rays. The minimun dose causing a postradiation change in the conductivity, as well as the conductivity vs. dose were determined. Charge carriers in NH4ClO4 are negative. The postradiation conductivity was measured at a continuous heating rate of approximately 2 degrees/min at 20-170. Dielectric losses and thermal emf also were studied. Experimental results are discussed, together with previous data on radiolytic degradation of NH4ClO4.
