Data confidence 85 high

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 The optical and luminescent properties of sapphire single crystals irradiated by a pulsed Fe10+ ion beam with an energy of 200 keV are studied. The results of measurements of optical absorption, photoluminescence, and pulsed cathodoluminescence indicate the formation of F and F + centers in ion-irradiated crystals. The luminescence of F-type centers nonmonotonically depends on the radiation dose, which is explained by the effect of concentration quenching. The thermoluminescence of crystals irradiated with Fe10+ ions is observed in the temperature range of 350–750 K. Decomposition of the thermoluminescence curves into elementary peaks of the general order kinetics made it possible to obtain the kinetic parameters of the traps. The prospects for using sapphire crystals in thermoluminescent dosimetry of pulsed ion beams are considered.
