Abstract
Lattice defects in KF, NaF and LiF are investigated by recording the t hermoluminescent emission of X-irradiated samples vs. temperature and wavelength. Experimental results show the presence of cation vacancies and interstitials in KF and NaF and of F(-) vacancies and interstitia ls in NaF and LiF. In NaF, the ionization energy of V(F) centres is fo und to be 6.4 eV, that of H centres 5.6 eV.
