摘要
Single crystals of sapphire (alpha-Al2O3) were irradiated at room temperature with 100 and 190 MeV silver (Ag) ions from the 15 UD Pelletron at the Nuclear Science Centre, New Delhi. The pristine as well as irradiated sapphires are characterized by photoluminescence at room temperature under 2.8 eV blue excitation by a He-Cd laser, ultraviolet (UV)-Visible absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Photoluminescence studies show a peak at 2.2 eV, due to formation of a F-2(2+), center. The intensity of this peak increases with fluence. A sudden increase in peak intensity has been observed after 5 x 10(12) ions/cm(2) where the defect zones started overlapping due to multiple ion impact. UV Visible and EPR studies show formation of defects like F and F+ centers. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
