摘要
The peculiarities of defect creation in LiF crystals by irradiation with 5- and 10-MeV Au ions have been studied using optical spectroscopy. The crystals were irradiated at room temperature with fluences from 1 x 10(12) to 2 x 10(14) ions/cm(2) at various beam current densities (1-200 nA/cm(2)). The short ion range in LiF allowed measurements for higher absorbed energy densities and high defect volume concentration. The efficiency of single F center and F. and larger aggregate creation depends drastically both on ion fluence and flux (beam current). Color center creation is less effective for 5-MeV Au ions than for 10-MeV Au ions, which produce 8 electrons with energies sufficient for creation of cation excitons (similar to 62 eV). The peculiarities of color center accumulation in LiF crystals under MeV An ion irradiation are considered taking into account the nonlinear kinetics of interstitials (H centers).
