The Formation of Self-Trapped Holes in Mixed Crystals AgBr1-xClx

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Irradiation of mixed crystals AgBr 1- x Cl x ( x =0.999, 0.99, 0.98) with blue light at 4.2 K produces the complexes (AgCl 6 ) 4- and (AgBrCl 5 ) 4- . The observed intensities of (AgCl 6 ) 4- and (AgBrCl 5 ) 4- ESR spectra for these crystals show that, even at 4.2 K, holes produced by irradiation move to near Ag sites having Br ions as ligands, forming (AgBrCl 5 ) 4- .
