Abstract
The effect of F-light ( λ = 550 nm) on the dislocation amplitude-dependent internal friction (dislocation photodamping) and dislocation charge in KCl crystals of different purity containing F-centers has been investigated. The photodamping process in all the crystals under study has been found to be due to the optical generation of new pinning points. The conditions of photopinner formation are found to depend on the magnitude of dislocation charge, the manner of the F-center introduction (γ-irradiation, additive coloration), and crystal purity. A model of photopinner formation has been proposed. The results obtained are used to analyse the binary systems in which the effect of dislocation photodamping is likely to occur.
