Conclusions
-
1.
In the short-lived absorption spectra of pulse-irradiated MgO single crystals the authors have identified absorption bands belonging to V− centers and manganese impurity ions.
-
2.
The radiation-chemical yields of V− centers in pulse-irradiated specimens are higher than those in gamma-irradiated ones.
-
3.
The authors have studied the kinetics of destruction of color centers in pulse-irradiated MgO single crystals. They have calculated the rate constants and effective activation energies.
