COLOUR CENTRES IN X-IRRADIATED ALKALI METAL AZIDES

Journal Article · · Phys. and Chem. Solids

Sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium azides, xirradiated at liquid nitrogen temperature, develop F bands, other absorption bands at longer wavelength, ascribed to electron surplus centers, and V bands in the ultraviolet. At room temperature, sodium azide gives a broad band in the ultraviolet ascribed to photoemission by sodium metal; potassium develops two bands in the red ascribed to R centers. Cesium and rubidium azides develop broadstructured bands in the ultraviolet of undetermined origin. (auth)
