摘要:
A trapped-hole centre with a high thermal stability is studied in Li2B4O7:Be. EPR spectrum demonstrates a hyperfine splitting due to interaction of the trapped hole with a Be-9 nucleus. The hole is trapped at the common vertex (bridging oxygen) of two adjacent BO4 tetrahedra when Be2+ substitutes for B3+ in one of them. The centre is stable up to approximate to 500 K. The high-temperature thermoluminescence peak at 510-575 K occurs when the released holes recombine with trapped electrons. This peak shows an ultraviolet exciton-like luminescence band and also luminescence bands of casual impurities. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
