Glasses containing various amount of trivalent cerium ion (20K2O, 10BaO, 70SiO2, 0.1CeO2, and 0-0.2 Si (mole %)) were first exposed to γ-radiation until they were colored to the same degree, and then, the fading of their color occured with the lapse of time was measured. The content of Ce3+ ion in these glasses was also measured by the spectrophotometric method in order to obtain a relation between its content in the glasses and the fading velocity of their γ-ray induced color. The result showed that the higher the content of Ce3+ ion in the glass is, the higher the fading velocity of its color is.On the basis of this result and the results of the spectrophotometric studies on the cerium-containing glasses so far made by the authors (J. Ceram. Assoc. Japan, 68, 132; 169 (1960)), the authors gave their view on the role of Ce3+ ion in preventing the γ-ray induced coloration of glass: Being excited by γ-ray irradiation, oxygen ions in glass loose some of their electrons. The Ce3+ ions give their weak-bonded 4 f-electrons to the oxygen ions, thus preventing the formation of V-center like defects in glass. At the same time, the Ce3+ ions, now holding positive holes as the result of their lending their 4 f-electrons to the oxygens, catch the ionized electrons that would be trapped or were already trapped by oxygen ion vacancies, thus preventing the formation of F-center like defects in glass. The total function of the Ce3+ ion in glass under γ-ray irradiation is, therefore, the recombination of the positive holes and the ionized electrons, thus preventing the formation of color centers.
