Abstract
This paper presents the first unambiguous optically detected magnetic-resonance (ODMR) evidence that AgCl crystals embedded in the KCl lattice and retaining the host orientation are formed in KCl crystals grown with a 2–3 mol % silver impurity. ODMR spectra were obtained of self-trapped holes, shallow electronic centers, and self-trapped excitons, which are typical of AgCl, and a number of substantially different ODMR spectra were also obtained. The differences between the ODMR spectra observed in samples cleaved from different parts of a KCl: AgCl crystal are probably accounted for by embedded AgCl crystals varying in size from large micro-to nanocrystals.
