RESUMO
The photosensibility to radiation of phosphate glasses is a property that has attracted great interest in the last decades12. In this work, we realized a systematic and comparative study of the photoinduced phenomena through characterization of the doped copper oxide (CuO) (Sb(PO3)3)n-Sb2O3 system films. In this study, we observed the photostructural changes and the effects caused by X-ray. The radiation damage on the samples was investigated by measurements of profilometry, X-ray diffraction, EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) and SFG (Sum Frequency Generation) for morphological analysis, used for the understanding of the structural changes occurred. Besides that, we realized UV-Vis absorption measurements for the determination of its optical properties. Recents studies have shown the (Sb(PO3)3)n-Sb2O3 glassy system has photobleaching and photocontraction effects, when irradiated with UV laser16. Our results have shown that films of the same glassy system doped with 3%CuO, when irradiated with X-ray, show the photodarkening effect, which was visually observed, and photoexpansion, which was confirmed by profilometry measurements. Both effects, photodarkening and photoexpansion, occur simultaneously in the irradiated films and have a evident dependence with the parameters changes, as film thickness and radiation exposure time.
