Definition of radiolysis in US English:
radiolysis
nounPlural radiolyses rādēˈäləsisreɪdiˈɑləsɪsreɪdiˈɑləsɪs
Chemistry The molecular decomposition of a substance by ionizing radiation.
Example sentencesExamples
- This transient could be attributed to the triplet excited state of curcumin by comparing it with the spectra of the triplet obtained by pulse radiolysis of curcumin in benzene.
- It has been demonstrated using pulse radiolysis that ascorbate can regenerate [alpha] tocopherol from the tocopheroxylradical and that such regeneration may occur in the skin.
- X rays induce double-strand breaks both via direct absorption and radicals produced by radiolysis, which also cause a whole spectrum of other damages.
- The authors used emission spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis to measure a series of photophysical parameters of curcumin.
- Dihydrothymine structure is a well-documented DNA base lesion induced by radiolysis of DNA, and the biological relevance has been the subject of several investigations.
