M. Leblans et al., INFLUENCE OF OH- IMPURITIES ON THE RELAXATION OF F-CENTERS STUDIED WITH PICOSECOND OPTICAL PULSES, Journal of luminescence, 58(1-6), 1994, pp. 388-391
The nonradiative electronic relaxation of the F(H)(OH-) center in KBr
is studied with a pump-probe technique for induced transparency. Relax
ation components on pico- and nanosecond time scale are observed. The
slowly-decaying contribution is possibly related to conversion between
the two different configurations of this defect.
