The parameters of radiation sensitivity of the oxygen-doped fluorite crystals were calculated in a onedimensional model. The limit concentrations of the color centers as a function of the concentration of the oxygen impurity in the fluorite crystal were defined. Fluorite crystals with anti-Frenkel defects in the anion sublattice of the crystal have a specific property: the discolored after irradiation crystal being irradiated repeatedly with ionizing radiation retains the "memory" of the preceding irradiation. Using an ion chain model this paper studies under what conditions the "radiation memory" effect can arise in the MeF2-O 2− crystals as well as the extent of its contribution into the overall radiation sensitivity of the crystal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
