Magneto-optical properties of the excited state of F centres in some alkali-halides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The orbital g-factor and the spin-orbit splittings of the first excited state of F-centres are measured in NaCl, NaBr, KBr and KF crystals by observing absorption and magnetic circular dichroism at various temperatures and using the moments method. Our experimental results and others are compared with Harker’s theoretical values. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE TOME 38, OCTOBRE 1977, Classification Physics Abstracts 61.70D 78.50

Excess Electron Color Centers in the Alkali Halides
The F center is the prototype of the excess electron color centers. Although many of the properties of this center are well understood, some interesting questions still remain concerning the nature of its relaxed excited state. The influence of uniaxial stress upon the luminescences has yielded new evidence for the diffuse nature of this state. A contrast will be made of the influence of uniaxi...
متن کاملThe initial production of defects in alkali halides: F and H centre production by non-radiative decay of the self-trapped exciton
Radiation damage in KCl can be produced by the decay of a self-trapped exciton into an F centre and an H centre. We present calculations of the energies of the states involved for various stages in the evolution of the damage. These lead to important conclusions about the very rapid damage process, and support strongly Itoh and Saidoh’s suggestion that damage proceeds through an excited hole st...
متن کاملLocalised Electronic States of Defect Aggregates in Neutron Irradiated Magnesium Oxide
The alkaline earth oxides have the same crystal structure as the alkali halides and consequently defects with electronic states and symmetry properties analogous with the M-and R-centers are observed after neutron irradiation. The divalent nature of the host lattice also offers additional potential for electron trapping : in this respect the R-like centres have been especially interesting. The ...
متن کاملMagneto-Optical properties of GaP single crystal
The temperature dependence of magneto-optical and magneto-photoconductivity measurements were carried out in the range of (200-330) K. A home made optical cryostat was used for the measurements. The measured room temperature value of the energy gap was found to be 2.211 eV. The temperature coefficient of energy gap was found to be -5.48×10-4 eV/K obtained by the optical absorption method and -4...

1. We have developed a new hybrid technique embedding a quantum description of point defects in SiO2 inside a classical model of the infinite solid. Thus, we incorporate accurately long-range effects (lattice relaxations and dielectric effects). Whilst embedding has been employed previously in highly ionic systems, such as the alkali halides, this is the first successful implementation in a mix...
