Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Parameters of point defects halos (F-color centers) created due to decays of self-trapped valence holes generated in nanometric vicinities of trajectories of gold ions of 275 MeV and 2187 MeV in LiF are estimated in absorption spectroscopy experiments. Such ions have approximately the same electronic stopping: 24.6 keV/nm and 22.9 keV/nm, respectively. In contrast to the usual concept of the velocity effect that a slower ion produces larger structure changes due to a higher density of the deposited energy, the opposite effect occurs for the defect halo revealing a larger radius and a larger defect concentration for an ion of the higher velocity realizing the same energy loss.

Spatial spreading of generated valence holes before their self-trapping (500 fs) forms the size of the defect halos around the trajectories of the applied ions. Simulations with Monte-Carlo code TREKIS show no significant difference in the initial spatial distributions of these valence holes by the times of finishing of ionization cascades (∼10 fs after the projectile passage) within the radii of the defect halos deduced from the experiments. Using these distributions as initial conditions for spatial spreading of generated valence holes and taking into account the difference between the defect halo radii, the diffusion coefficients of these holes near the trajectories of 275 and 2187 MeV Au ions in LiF are estimated showing about six times larger value in tracks of the faster ion for irradiations at room temperatures.

Presence of H-color centers changes considerably the kinetics of the created defect ensemble in the defect halo resulting in differences between the defect halo parameters in LiF crystals irradiated at 8 K vs. 300 K.
