Abstract:
Abstract – The irradiation experiments at the ion accelerator DC-60 (Astana, Kazakhstan) and high current electron impulse accelerator RADAN-220
(Tomsk, Russia) are presented. Single LiF crystals were irradiated with Xe (195 MeV), Kr (117 MeV, 147 MeV), and N (18 MeV) ions. Using absorption
and thermoactivation spectroscopy, color center creation was analyzed as a function of the ion energy loss, fluence, and current beam (flux). Sur-face macro-defects were exam ined in all irradiated LiF crystals by atomic force microscopy.
