Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of anion-defective alumina single crystals were measured. Exposure to a dose 10Gy–1kGy causes isotropic EPR signal of a complex form, this signal contains narrow and broad components. At the same time, in the PL spectrum alongside with a band of F+-centers (3.8eV) an additional emission band with the maximum of 2.25eV is registered. This band corresponds to aggregate F22+-centers which were create under irradiation. By comparing measurements in EPR and PL spectra with further stepped annealing in the temperature range of 773–1473K of the samples exposed to the same doses, we were able to conclude that a narrow component of isotropic EPR signal is associated with the formation of paramagnetic F22+-centers under irradiation. A wide component can be caused by deep hole traps which are created by a complex defect (VAl2− – F+) with a localized hole.
