Trap Spectroscopy by the Glow Rate Technique using Bleaching of Colour Centres
An application of the glow rate technique (GRT) for analysis of the parameters of thermostimulated decay of colour centres is presented using the data on the decay of radiation defects in LiBaF 3 :Fe crystals created by X rays at 300 K. The GRT offers a procedure for evaluation of the mean activation energy as a function of temperature in the case of arbitrary thermostimulated relaxation kinetics represented by the trap distribution function. The experimental procedure involves at least two subsequent measurements of thermostimulated decay kinetics at different heating rates. It is shown that the decay of the F type centres is governed by interaction of mobile anion vacancies with F A and F…
Glow Rate Technique for Spectroscopy of Complex Thermostimulated Relaxation Processes
The glow rate technique (GRT) developed for the analysis of complex trap spectra, is the extension of the known heating rate method to the full glow curve. It is shown that using two glow curves measured at different heating rate constants, a special mean activation energy of simultaneously emptied traps can be obtained as a function of temperature or emitted light sum to a good approximation. Expressions have been derived for the calculation of the mean activation energy function from data measured using a linear, logarithmic or a hyperbolic heating mode. Theoretical expressions for the mean activation energy function have been obtained and discussed for arbitrary trap distribution functio…
Advanced trap spectroscopy using the glow rate technique based on bleaching of color centers
Abstract The glow rate technique (GRT) is the extension of the known heating rate method to the full glow curve. The GRT like the fractional glow technique (FGT) offers a procedure for evaluation of the mean activation energy as a function of temperature in the case of arbitrary thermostimulated relaxation kinetics represented by trap distribution function. The experimental procedure involves at least two subsequent measurements of thermostimulated recombination kinetics at different heating rates. The extension of the GRT to the direct measurements of thermostimulated bleaching of the radiation-induced color centers is presented. The experimental procedure involves measurements of the deca…
