The steady-state radiation-induced conductivity (RIC) has been measured in single-crystal Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ samples maintained at elevated temperatures during continuous irradiation with 1.5-MeV electrons. A theoretical model is presented in which the rapid increases observed in the RIC are correlated with the thermal detrapping of electrons. To account for the decreases in the RIC, additional rate equations describing the thermal quenching of the conductivity by hole release are considered. The RIC data of the undoped samples indicate that hole release from 0.77-eV V/sup -//sub OH/ centers may be thermally quenching the conductivity.There are several mechanisms other than thermal quenching which could account for the weak decreases in the RIC. These are the LO-phonon scattering of conduction electrons (''large-polaron'' mobility) and bulk electron-hole recombination occurring through multiphonon emission.
