Radiation‐induced conductivity of as‐grown and electrodiffused quartz

摘要

Thermoluminescence, phosphorescence, and ac conductivity measurements have been performed at room temperature on as‐grown or Li‐, Na‐, and Cu‐ electrodiffused synthetic quartz, beta or x ray irradiated, to confirm the ionic nature of the charge carriers in the radiation‐induced conductivity (RIC). Comparison between RIC and phosphorescence time dependence has allowed us to propose a mechanism for the annealing process of the RIC.
