| Abstract: | Abstract Molecular statics method is used to determine the energy and configuration peculiarities of vacancy-bivacancy interaction in alkali halide crystals. It is shown that high level of local vacancy supersaturation defines the possibility of cluster formation. The study of carrier traps by luminescence methods is used to reveal vacancy clusters. |
