“…However, after the UV treatment of the sample (see Fig. 1b), a contribution of the 335 nm emission band (3.7 eV) at T max ¼ 470 AE 3 K, caused by the F þ -centers, is added to the TL signal (McKeever et al, 1999;Weinstein et al, 2002). At the same time, in a green spectral region, the 515 nm (E max ¼ 2.4 eV) luminescence at T max ¼ 470 AE 3 K is observed, with a relatively weak intensity that is thought to be related to the F 2 -or Al þ i -centers, as specified above in the Introduction.…”
