Abstract
The formation of laser active color centers in LiF films irradiated wi th low energy electrons has been investigated as a function of the fil m growth parameters, Spectroscopic measurements have shown that the fo rmation efficiency of F-aggregate centers is higher in polycrystalline films than in single crystals and can depend on the film growth condi tions, which in turn influence the surface to volume ratio, the void p resence and the preferred orientation of the crystallites.
