Formation of Colour Centres in Undeformed and Deformed NaCl

Journal Article · · Physica Status Solidi B. Basic Solid State Physics
Rates of F-center formation and absorption spectra after soft and hard x irradiation and after subsequent bleaching were studied. Two stages of coloration were found. During the first stage, F-centers were formed from vacancies present in the crystal prior to irradiation. The second stage during soft irradiation was attributed to the formation of F-centers by a bulk mechanism; the second stage during hard irradiation, which is significant only in deformed crystals, was attributed to the formation of Fcenters from vacancy clusters generated by deformation.
