Abstract:The recombination kinetics of conduction electrons with halogen-ion vacancies (a-centers) in additively colored alkali halides is calculated and discussed for the high-temperature range, in which concurring F'-centers decay thermally. The steady state concentrations of conduction electrons, a-, andF'-centers as well as the time constants are explicitly given under the assumption that the charge carriers recombine with a-centers predominantly via the excited state F * of the vacancies. These results are compare… Show more
