Abstract
By means of an ESR detection method based on the optical pumping technique theg-factors and ESR-linewidths of the relaxed excited state (RES) of a number ofF- andF A -centres have been measured. From the linewidths information on the spatial distribution of the RES is obtained: The data are interpreted in terms of a very diffuse wavefunction which is essentially the same for all crystals when scaled with the lattice constant. A numerical value for the parameter describing the spatial extension is given.
