L. Wojnarovits et Ja. Laverne, COMPARISON OF THE LINEAR-ENERGY-TRANSFER EFFECT IN THE RADIOLYSIS OF CYCLOPENTANE, CYCLOHEXANE AND CYCLOOCTANE, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 232(1-2), 1998, pp. 19-22
In the radioanalysis of cyclopentane, cyclhexane and cyclooctane, chan
ging the irradiating particles from the gamma-rays to heavy ions, ther
e are indications for the increase of the proportion of the H atom for
ming reaction at the expense of the reactions leading to H-2 molecule
elimination and to radical production without participation of H atoms
. This shift is attributed to changes in charge recombination with the
increasing LET from basically geminate recombination to predominantly
cross combination. The iodine scavenging results are similar in the t
hree systems which is attributed to the basically diffusion controlled
character of the competing reactions.
