摘要

Monte Carlo simulations were performed to calculate the temperature dependence of the primary yields (g-values) of the radical and molecular products of the radiolysis of pure, deaerated liquid water by low linear-energy-transfer (LET) radiation. The early energy deposition was approximated by considering short segments (—400 um) of 300-MeV proton tracks (corresponding to an average LET of —0.3 keV/Mm). The subsequent nonhomogeneous chemical evolution of the reactive species formed in these tracks was simulated by using the independent reaction times approximation, which has previously been used successfully to model the radiolysis of liquid water at ambient temperature under various conditions. Our calculated g-values for the radiolytic species: e,, OH, H, H2, and H202, are presented as a function of temperature over the range 25—300 0C. They show an increase in g(e~), g(OH), and [g(H) + g(H2)] and a decrease in g(H202) with increasing temperature, in agreement with existing experimental data. The sensitivity of the results to the values of reaction rate constants and to the temperature dependence of electron thermalization distances (r,,~) was also investigated. It was found that the best agreement with experiment occurs when the distances of electron thermalization decrease with increasing temperature, a result that is at variance with the predictions of previous modeling studies. Such a decrease in ~ as the temperature increases could be linked to an increase in the scattering cross sections of subexcitation electrons that would account for the corresponding decrease in the degree of structural order of water molecules. Our simulations also suggest that the variations of the g-values with temperature, and especially that of g(H2), are better described if we account for the screening of the Coulomb forces between the two e~ in the bimolecular self-reaction of the hydrated electron. Finally, the time-dependent yields of e~, and OH are presented as functions of temperature, in the range l0-I2~l06 s. It was found that the temporal variation of g(e~,) at elevated temperatures is sensitive to the temperature dependence of rib, suggesting that measurements of the decay of hydrated electrons as functions of time and temperature could, in turn, provide information on the thermalization of subexcitation electrons. The good overall accord of our calculated results with the experimental data available from the literature demonstrates that Monte Carlo simulation methods offer a most promising avenue at present to further develop our understanding of temperature effects in the radiolysis of liquid water.
