Abstract: | The effects of the energetic ions implantation in AgCl can be related to two types of perturbation due to: the electronic energy losses observed, essentially with H+ (2 MeV) implantation and the collision energy losses illustrated in K+ (0.5 MeV) implantation. The ionization influence is essentially the sensibilization of AgCl (print-out) at RT and at LNT. We discuss the the photolysis mechanism regarding the one postulated under action of light. The defects related to collision losses are characterized by a new optical absorption band with a characteristic length independent of the implanted ion (Na+ and K+). The nature of those defects are analysed by thermal and optical bleaching and by EPR. Those collision effects do not contribute to the print-out phenomena. |
