Abstract
Formation of primary paramagnetic point defects under low temperature X-ray irradiation have been studied by ESR and optical absorption in p ure and thallium doped PbCl2 single crystals. Besides Pb-2(3+) self-tr apped electron (STEL) centers the PbCl2 : Tl crystals exhibit trapped- electron (PbTl)(+)-type centers. Based on production properties of par amagnetic centers it is suggested that besides forming Tl-2 divided by centers the holes are self trapped at pairs of neighbouring Cl- anion s resulting in V-k type centers with various orientation and length of the Cl-Cl axis.
