Popis: The Ta/Ta 2 O 5 electrolyte system, when irradiated with γ rays or electrons, has been studied in detail. The results are compared with those previously reported for irradiation with UV and X-rays. Photocurrents have been measured which are proportional to radiation intensity at low dose rates. At high dose rates the rate of increase of photocurrent becomes smaller. No significant increase in the thickness of the oxide has been measured after irradiation. Tantalum foil electrolytic capacitors were found to be convenient for making rapid routine measurements of photo effects.
