Organometallic Liquids as Potential Dosimetric Materials: A Pulse Radiolysis Study of the Tetraethyl Compounds of Si, Ge, Sn and Pb
Abstract
The methods of kinetic optical spectroscopy have been employed to observe the formation and decay of short-lived transients produced by pulse radiolysis of the tetra-alkyl compounds of the Group IVA metals. Time resolved transient spectra over the range of 290 nm to 620 nm are presented. The probable mechanisms of the radiation-induced molecular disruption are considered and the feasibility of using these compounds as dosimeters in the low-energy x- ray region is discussed.
