Abstract

The luminescence of Eu(DPA)₃^3- induced by beta particles from tritium decay was measured. The solution of Eu³⁺ was prepared with europium(III) nitrate hexahydrate and was mixed with a DPA (2, 6- pyridinedicarboxylic acid or dipicolinic acid) solution of pH 11 to yield Eu(DPA)₃^3-. The formation of Eu (DPA)₃^3- was confirmed through spectrometry. Tritiated water was added to the prepared solution of Eu (DPA)₃^3-. The luminescence intensity is proportional to the amount of tritium. In this paper we demonstrate the potential of this Eu complex as an inorganic liquid scintillator.
