Charge Transfer and F-Type Centers in Alkaline-Earth Fluorides Activated by Cd2+ or Zn2+ Ions
Photoluminescence spectra of impurity centers containing anion vacancy Cd+ \({{{v}}_{a}}\) or Zn+ \({{{v}}_{a}}\) in alkali-earth fluorides have been studied. A comparison with luminescence spectra of photoch...

Are the Photochromic Centers in Alkaline-Earth Fluorides Analogous to DX Centers in Semiconductors?
It is shown the photochromic PC centers that form during the radiative coloration of alkaline-earth fluoride crystals doped with a number of rare-earth ions (La, Ce, Gd, Tb, Lu, and Y) can be attributed to DX-...

Instability of monovalent ions of transitional metals in alkaline earth fluorides: CaF2 and SrF2 activated by Co2+ or Ni2+
The ground state of monovalent ions of transitional metals in alkaline-earth fluorides is localized in the conduction band. It is shown by the example of monovalent Co and Ni ions in CaF2 and SrF2 crystals that t...

Divalent rare-earth ions Pr, Sm, Нo, Er, Tm, and Yb in crystals of alkaline-earth fluorides
The absorption spectra of radiation-colored CaF2, SrF2, and BaF2 crystals activated by trivalent Pr, Sm, Нo, Er, Tm, and Yb (rare-earth, RE) ions are studied. It is shown that ionizing radiation reduces the impur...

Effect of cationic impurities on the formation of radiation defects in alkaline earth fluorides
A new model of photochromic centers formed by ionizing radiation or the additive coloration of alkaline earth fluorides doped with rare-earth ions (La, Ce, Gd, Tb, Lu, and Y) is proposed, based on original exp...
