Abstract
Self-trapped holes (VK-centres) in x-irradiated LiBaF3 crystals were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), recombination afterglow and thermostimulated luminescence (TSL). After x-irradiation at 77K, an EPR of the self-trapped hole centre VK (F2-) oriented along the [110] axis is identified. The 19F hyperfine interaction parameters of VK-centres estimated from EPR angular dependencies are: AII = 2520 MHz; A⊥ = 200 MHz; the g-tensor parameters are: gII = 2.002 and g⊥ = 2.024. X-irradiation at temperatures below 200K results in a creation of a long-term temperature-independent afterglow-tunnelling luminescence (TL), with main emission bands at ∼4.1 eV and ∼3.15 eV. The short wavelength TL bands are associated with the tunnelling recombination of the electron centre with the VK-centre, with thermal stability estimated to be about 130K.
