U. Rogulis et al., ODEPR OF INDIUM COLOR-CENTERS IN THE X-IRRADIATED STORAGE PHOSPHOR KBR-IN, Radiation effects and defects in solids, 134(1-4), 1995, pp. 471-475
The results of measurements of the magnetic circular dichroism of the
optical absorption (MCDA) and optically detected electron paramagnetic
resonance (ODEPR) of X-irradiated KBr:In crystals are presented. The
MCDA bands and ODEPR parameters of In degrees(1) centers and In2+ cent
res have been measured. The mechanism of the energy storage in KBr:In
crystals is found not to be simply the formation of correlated F centr
e-In2+ centre pairs as was assumed previously. Considerable similariti
es to the storage phosphor BaFBr:Eu2+ were found for the photostimulat
ed emission and read-out properties.
