Radiation Effects in DMAAS:Cr Ferroelectric Crystal

This paper presents the results of investigations of the radiation effects in NH$\text{}_{2}$(CH$\text{}_{3}$)$\text{}_{2}$Al(SO$\text{}_{4}$)$\text{}_{2}$×6H$\text{}_{2}$O crystals doped with chromium. On the basis of absorption spectroscopy and resonance Raman scattering study it has been shown that comparatively low doses of radiation first of all causes recharging of Cr$\text{}^{3+}$ on Cr$\text{}^{4+}$ ions. Besides, the processes of dehydrogenation and the changes in arrangement of the hydrogen bond network were observed. These changes are followed by distortion of the complexes bonded by such a type of bonds.
