Abstract

Single crystals and polycrystalline samples of durable actinide host phases such as garnet, zircon, and Ti-pyrochlore doped with varying amounts of U, Pu, Np and Am, were studied by cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy. The following characteristic bands were identified: uranyl-ion [UO2]2+– 495 nm in garnet and pyrochlore; [UO4]2− – 710 nm in garnet; and Am3+ – in garnet and zircon at 550 nm, 614 nm, 740÷750 nm.
