Abstract
A long lasting green phosphorescence was found in -doped calcium aluminate glasses prepared under a strongly reducing atmosphere. An electron-trapped centre giving an EPR signal at g = 1.999, an analogue of the centre in CaO, was induced by illumination with ultraviolet (uv) radiation and decayed slowly after the illumination was stopped. A partial oxidation of ions to ions by uv illumination was observed. A mechanism of the long lasting phosphorescence was suggested to consist of recombination of an electron released thermally from the -like centre with the photo-oxidized .
