Abstract

Two detector media suitable for a warm liquid, ionization chamber filled with tetramethylsilane(TMS) and tetramethylgermanium(TMG) were exposed to γ radiation of 60Co source up to dose 579Gray and 902Gray, respectively. The electron lifetimes and the free ion yields were measured as function of accumulated radiation dose. A similar behaviours of the electron lifetime and the free ion yields with increasing radiation dose were observed between the TMS and TMG ionization chambers.
