Abstract
Stable colour centres can be introduced in single crystals of alkali halides using electrolytic coloration. The powders obtained by crushing these single crystals lose colour very rapidly. Mobile dislocations which are present in far greater abundance in the powders are responsible for the reduced stability. Results on some KCl samples showing a correlation between microhardness, dislocation mobility and the stability of coloration are presented.
