Description

This report reviews typical radiation effects in ionic crystals (alkali halides, alkaline earth halides, LaF3, ZrO2, HfO2, etc) induced by heavy ions of MeV-GeV energy. Details of color centers and defect aggregates in LiF crystals by irradiation with many different ions (from He up to U) in a wide range of temperature (15 K-800 K) are presented. Threshold effects and ion-induced damage efficiencies in various other ionic crystals are discussed. (copyright 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim) (orig.)
