摘要:
The thermal- and photo-induced transformations of luminescence centers in anion-defective crystals of alpha-Al2O3 have been investigated. It has been found that the exposure of crystals to ultraviolet light at temperatures in the range 50-900A degrees C leads to substantial changes in their thermoluminescence and radioluminescence spectra. According to the optical absorption and photoluminescence data, the detected F-type centers have been identified and the temperature ranges of the F -> F (+) -> F (2) transformations and their possible mechanisms have been determined. The special attention has been drawn to the detailed similarity in the formation of complex F (2)-type centers in the initially perfect alpha-Al2O3 crystals irradiated with fast neutrons and in the studied anion-defective crystals.
