Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract First irradiation experiments on the cyclotron ion accelerator DC‐60 are presented. LiF crystals were irradiated with 147 MeV Kr+14 ions in the fluence (Φ) range 8 × 1010–3 × 1012 ions/cm2 at a beam current 20 nA/cm2 (corresponding to a flux ϕ ≈ 9 × 109 ions/cm2 s). The main electron microdefects (F‐type color centers) were studied by absorption spectroscopy in the spectral range 200–650 nm. After a linear increase with the fluence, single F centers saturate at Φ ≈ 1012 ions/cm2 and at higher fluences decrease, whereas the concentration of complex centers have a strong increase. The efficiency of F center creation at higher fluences decreases due to the strong recombination losses of primary Frenkel pairs.
