On the nature, characterisation and applications of point defects in insulators
Description
This overview outlines some basic properties of defects in insulators and describes experimental techniques by which these defects may be characterized. Then the production of defects by various types of particle irradiation is discussed. Finally some discussion is presented of the potential device application of defective crystals, including tunable colour centre lasers, miniaturised optical circuitry and neutron dosimetry. (author)
