Abstract
The absorption spectra of Sm3+ and Sm2+ in CaF2 have been measured from 200–800 mμ at room and liquid‐nitrogen temperatures. A strong divalent absorption band at 620 mμ has an effective oscillator strength of 1.1×10−2. This band has been used to study the reduction of CaF2:Sm3+ by ionizing radiation. For some samples, the reduction is as large as 50%. The kinetics of the reduction is obscured due to the presence of oxygen and other crystal defects. The data do indicate that the charge compensator for Sm3+ in CaF2 is an interstitial F− ion.Keywords
