Abstract
An intense optical absorption with λmax at 275 nm in γ irradiated CS2−3 MP glasses observed at 77°K has been found to be that of CS2− with an estimated molar extinction coefficient of 2.2 × 104 litre mole−1 cm−1. An additional absorption band observed at λmax 372 nm has been assigned to CS2+. The probable electronic transitions involved in CS2− and CS2+ has been discussed. The effect of concentrationof CS2 and γ dose on the 275 and 372 nm bands have been studied and their relevance has been discussed.
