Popis: Electric-field-induced alignment of V− centers in MgO crystals has been monitored by the ensuing dichroism in the 2.3 eV optical absorption band. The effective electric dipole moment is μ = 3.4±0.4 e A , and the centers respond freely to the applied fields even at liquid-helium temperatures. The optical excited state is found to be incompatible with a localized-atomic-orbital description.
