Photochemically Produced V Bands in KBr and KCl

抄録

The properties of V bands produced by X-irradiation at temperatures above 78°K have been investigated in KBr and KCl crystals. Preferential bleaching with polarized light revealed that many V bands have complicated composite structures in spite of the simplicity of their shapes. The observed dependence of shapes and positions of V bands on the duration of irradiation and the crystal temperature during irradiation are attributed to their composite nature. Some of component bands were found to be destroyed by prolonged X-irradiation. The band which had been called V₄ in KCl was found not to be one corresponding to the V₄ band in KBr.
