Synchrotron VUV-UV and positron lifetime spectroscopy study of vacancy-type defects in reactor neutron-irradiated MgO·nAl2O3 (n = 2)
We investigated neutron-irradiation-induced point defects in spinel single crystals using a synchrotron VUV-UV source and positron lifetime spectroscopy. Photoexcitation (PE) spectra near 230 nm and their corresponding photoluminescence (PL) spectra at 475 nm were attributed to F-centers. With increasing irradiation temperature and fluence, PE efficiency and PL intensity decreased dramatically. Positron lifetimes (PLT) of neutron-irradiated and non-irradiated samples were measured to identify the cation vacancies. A PLT measurement of 250 ps was obtained in a neutron-irradiated (20 K) sample which is tentatively attributed to an aluminum monovacancy. Decreasing PLT with higher irradiation indicates the formation of oxygen-vacancy complex centers.
