Abstract
New features of isothermal build-up of thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) related to deep traps in anion-deficient alumina single crystals are revealed. It was found that the TSL build-up at 630–750 K depends on the structure of the glow curve and is associated with the presence of a high-temperature component with Tm = 700 K. Isothermal TSL build-up for the peak at 573 K is well expressed in UV-irradiated samples and is very weak after sample irradiation by a pulsed electron beam. The TSL build-up for this peak is registered for the luminescence of F centres but is absent for the emission of F22+ centres and chromium ions. The obtained results confirm the validity of the kinetic model of the TSL build-up that takes into account the process of thermal ionization of the excited states of F centres in aluminum oxide.
