Summary: | Low-temperature (77–300 K) RadioThermoLuminescence (RTL) investigations of Poly(Tetra FluoroEthylene) (PTFE) and Poly(Ethylene TerePhthalate) (PET) foils previously treated by different flux (
Φ = 10
6–10
11 cm
−2) of Xenon ions with energy 1.1 MeV/nucleon have been showed an essential ion-induced changes in RTL of the both polymers under study. In PET as well as in PTFE significant changes of RTL light yield observed at the ion flux more than 10
9 cm
−2. Variation of RTL light yield in PTFE accompanied by appearance of new TL temperature maxima on the glow curve. An existence of correlation between observed changes of molecular mobility in ion-irradiated polymer and optical (PET) and strength (PTFE) properties have been found. |
