Abstract

The separate and combined effects of doping, annealing, and gamma irradiation on the temperature-dependent photocurrent through nominally undoped and doped sillenite-type crystals were investigated between 77 and 300 K. The results were interpreted using a band-structure model describing the recombination processes involved in terms of deep slow and fast recombination centers (r- and s-centers) and shallow traps. The electron transitions to recombination centers were shown to be controlled by the trap levelE t . The thermal stability of radiation-induced defects was assessed.
