The photolummescence and electron spin resonance properties of gamma irradiated (up to 500 kGy) porous silica are reported. By exciting at 5.6 eV a photoluminescence contribution can be detected before irradiation, peaked at about 4.1 eV. Gamma irradiation causes the generation of the E' centers (about 1 x 10(14) defects cm(-3)) of paramagnetic hole centers and modifies the photoluminescence properties of the sample: the emission amplitude decreases and three contributions can be singled out at about 3.3, 3.8 and 4.4 eV.

Abstract
The photolummescence and electron spin resonance properties of gamma irradiated (up to 500 kGy) porous silica are reported. By exciting at 5.6 eV a photoluminescence contribution can be detected before irradiation, peaked at about 4.1 eV. Gamma irradiation causes the generation of the E' centers (about 1 x 10(14) defects cm(-3)) of paramagnetic hole centers and modifies the photoluminescence properties of the sample: the emission amplitude decreases and three contributions can be singled out at about 3.3, 3.8 and 4.4 eV.
