Abstract
Sodium chloride thin films were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation from m onocrystalline and sintered targets. The structure of the films is characte rized by X-ray diffraction and their surface quality is characterized by sc anning electron microscopy. From thermoluminescence spectra, two different types of defects are identified as cation vacancies and chlorine interstiti als. This thermoluminescence in the UV-visible has been observed by heating the samples up to 600 K.
