Abstract

Relaxation processes in oxygen-containing Ar cryocrystals pre-irradiated by low-energy electrons are studied with the focus on the role of the diffusion-controlled atom-atom recombination reaction of oxygen in the relaxation cascades. The results of real-time-correlated measurements of thermally stimulated phenomena are presented. The experiments have been performed using activation spectroscopy methods-thermally stimulated exoelectron emission and spectrally resolved thermally stimulated luminescence. Solid evidence for the radiative mechanism of electron detrapping triggering the relaxation cascades is obtained.
