Abstract

The 9.5 GHz ESR-spectra of gamma-ray irradiated 94 SiO2 6 GeO2 (mol%) aero gels heat treated at 462°C were recorded at 300 K. The ESR-spectrum of this gel consisted of an asymmetric line (g1 = 2.001, g2 = 1.995, and g3 = 1.994) attributed to the Ge(3)-center and other components which have not yet been identified. The 94 SiO2 6 GeO2 gel was treated at 1000 and 1280°C and then exposed to gamma-ray radiation. The Ge(1)- and Ge(3)-centers were identified in the 94 SiO2 6 GeO2 gel with TH = 1000°C. At TH = 1280°C the signal of the Ge(1)-center dominated the spectrum of this sample. The spectra of the 58 SiO2 42 GeO2 gels with TH = 1200 and 1400°C can be described by the Ge(3)-center. The Ge(1)-center was of minor importance in these samples.
