Abstract
The ionic, electronic and anion-diffusion controlled thermally stimulated relaxation (TSR) processes at 80—700 K in CaF2 BaF2 and LiBaF3 crystals (X-ray irradiated or non-irradiated) have been investigated by means of ionic conductivity, ionic thermally stimulated (TS) depolarization current (TSDC); as well as current (TSC), luminescence (TSL) and bleaching (TSB) techniques. Above 250—290 K broad and overlapping anion TSDC peaks and correlated TSB stages are detected. The TSB kinetics is initiated and controlled by anion detrapping and interaction with the localized charges, i.e., the anion-diffusion controlled TSR processes take place in fluorides. The TSL and TSC data for LiBaF3 indicate that the lifetime and drift of electrons at 80—250 K is very small because of deep retrapping. The main TSL peaks at 132K, 170K and 220 K are caused by Vk center detrapping and hole-diffusion controlled tunnel recombination within pairs like {Dn e−…Vk }.
