Abstract

The optical vibronic emission spectra of the single crystal α-Al2O3 caused by neutron bombardment have been studied. New sharp line features near the 470 nm emission band were found. The phonon side band of the previously found zero-phonon line near the 380 nm emission band is also observed in the present study. Vibronic structures associated with the 470 nm emission band are predominantly featured. The Huang–Rhys factor and the Debye temperature are estimated by a curve fitting method to be 3.2 and 710 K, respectively. It can be seen that the origin of the 470 nm vibronic emission spectra is derived from the F type center.
