Abstract
Irradiation of various single-crystal CuO faces [ac,bc,(110)] with 4.6-MeV He+ ions has been found to result in reduction of CuO to Cu2O and Cu on the irradiated and unirradiated sides, lifting of forbiddenness from optical transitions in the [CuO4]7− electron center in the 0.7–0.95-eV energy range, a change in dichroism near the bands corresponding to transitions in the hole centers, [CuO4]5−, and electron centers, [CuO4]7−, as well as in a resonant increase of absorption at 0.95–1.30 eV with an unusual polarization dependence. The results of He+ irradiation of CuO single crystals are discussed in terms of a model of the nucleation of the phase of polar (electron and hole) centers in copper-oxygen systems.
