Abstract
AbstractThe process of near‐edge absorption annealing in air was studied up to 1500C in YVO4. In this annealing process, two stages with activation energies of 0.16 eV and 0.38 eV were obtained. (Should combine to make this one paragraph)In addition to the annealing study, the transient absorption induced by pulsed electron beam excitation (270 keV, 8 ns) was completed on a set of YVO4 samples with different near‐edge absorption levels in the spectral region 3.2‐3.5 eV. The spectral range from ∼1.25 eV up to 3.0 eV is covered by strong transient absorption. Transient absorption spectra show at least three broad overlapping bands (∼1.3 eV, ∼2.0 eV and ∼3.0 eV). The 3 eV peak position is close to the near‐edge absorption band and correlation between transient absorption bands and absorption due to stable colour centers was studied. It is suggested that absorption bands at ∼1.3 eV and ∼2.0 eV are due to electron and hole polarons, correspondingly. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
