Abstract: | Some new experimental results illustrating the effect of deep traps on luminescent and dosimetric properties of anion-defective single crystals of alpha-Al2O3 have been described. It was found that deep traps had an electronic origin. They were filled thanks to the photoionisation of F-centres and their filling was accompanied by the conversion of F-->F+ centres. The experiments revealed an interactive interaction of deep trapping centres. A model taking into account the thermal ionisation of excited states of F-centres was proposed. This model describes the trap filling process and mechanisms of the radio-, photo- and thermoluminescence, TSC and TSEE of the crystals under study. The sensitivity of TLD-500 detectors based on anion-defective alpha-Al2O3 equalised when deep trapping centres were filled. |
