Description

A plastically deformed single crystal of KCl doped with SnCl2 and briefly exposed to X-rays yielded three glow peaks at 63, 110 and 210 C. The glow peaks at 110 and 210 C show emission bands at 520, 415 and 390 nm. The 415 nm emission dominates at 210 C and the 390 nm dominates at 110 C. Plastic deformation and subsequent annealing do not change the emission spectra. Further irradiation of F-bleached sample enhances the 63 C glow peak. Based on these observations, the role of plastic deformation in the mechanism of coloration KCl:Sn system has been discussed. (author)
