Abstract

AbstractThe processes of the creation, stabilization and annealing of anion Frenkel defects have been investigated in MgO and MgO:Be single crystals irradiated by α particles, uranium swift ions or fast neutrons at 300 K and also additionally irradiated by 5 keV electrons at 6 K. Neutral oxygen interstitials undergo stabilization due to their association with the holes localized near Be2+ ions or near cation vacancies. The peculiarities of the processes of nonimpact creation and stabilization of point defects under conditions of a high density of electronic excitations formed in the tracks of swift heavy ions have been considered by the example of MgO crystals, where the creation energy of a pair of long‐lived Frenkel defects exceeds the energy gap, EFD > Eg.
