Abstract
Structural defects whose size and concentration vary dramatically with temperature near the F - ion sublattice melting temperature were observed in good, optical quality single crystals of PbF 2. Light scattering, optical microscopy and electron microprobe studies suggest that these defects are lattice strains surrounding clusters of neutral lead atoms which anneal at the sublattice melting temperature.
