Abstract

The optical absorption (OA) of F and Fz, centres in beta-and UV-irradiated KCl: Eu2☎ have been studied. The spectra measured at room temperature and during the subsequent heatings up to 600 K, were analyzed by a deconvolution procedure. The OA bands of the F and Fz centres are well described respectively by asymmetric and symmetric gaussiane with parameters that are linearly dependent on the temperature. The thermal stability of the Fz centres correlates with the low-temperature thermostimulated luminescence (TL) peaks. The stability of the F centres is determined at least by two processes. Part of the F centres is destroyed together with the Fz centres. The remaining ones are destroyed during further heating up to 470 K, correlating with the TL peak at 425 K (at heating rate of 0.1 K/s).
