Abstract

The mechanism of creation of electron-hole trapping centers in CaSO4 at 15-300 K was investigated by the methods of vacuum-ultraviolet and thermoactivation spectroscopy. It is shown that electron-hole trapping centers are formed upon trap of electrons in the anionic complexes SO4− and localization of holes in the form of SO4− radical. Based on the measurement of the spectrum of excitation of long-wavelength recombination emission at 3.0-3.1 eV and 2.7 eV, the energy distance of the formed electron-hole trapping centers was estimated (4.43 eV and 3.87 eV).

  • In irradiated CaSO4 crystals with UV photons and X-rays, two types of intrinsic emission arise: a group of short-wavelength emission at 3.7-3.8 eV, 4.1-4.3 eV, 4.5 eV and about 5 eV formed upon excitation by UV photons 6.2-12.3 eV.The second group of long-wavelength emission occurs together with short-wavelength emission at 3.0-3.1 eV, 2.6-2.7 eV, and 2.32.4 eV in almost all irradiated sulfates of alkali and alkaline earth metals

  • K2SO4, it was assumed that these bands arise when electrons from three subbands of the valence band of the SO24− complex formed from the 2p state of oxygen into the conduction band
