RUI: Thermal Recovery of Copper Ions in Alkali Halides

这项计划将包括通过x射线辐照掺铜(和其他碱卤化物)的XTALs来产生铜离子和其他缺陷(F中心，M中心)。他们将研究铜离子通过退火过程的恢复，即温度依赖、F中心依赖等。他们还将使用光学吸收、热释光(TL)和电子自旋共振(ESR)。

This program will consist of producing copper ions along with other defects (F centers, M centers) by x-irradiation of copper- doped (and other alkali halide) xtals. They will study the recovery of copper ions by annealing processes, i.e., temperature dependence, dependence on F centers, etc. They will also use optical absorption, thermoluminescence (TL) and electron spin resonance (ESR).
