Popis: Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) spectra in the 313–580 K temperature range have been studied in anion-defective alumina crystals (named in literature as Al 2 O 3 :C) exposed to different irradiation doses. The TSL curve features two peaks with the maxima at T m1 =437 K and T m2 =565 K. The TSL spectrum of the first peak contains the emission of F centers and the R line of Cr 3+ impurity ions. The absence of the emission of F + centers indicates that electron traps are responsible for the first dosimetric TSL peak. The TSL spectrum of the second peak features emission bands of F, F + centers, R line as well as a wide band centered at 550 nm and associated with the formation of aggregate centers (F 2 and F 2 2+ ) under irradiation. Possible excitation mechanisms of the TSL emission bands that involve both electron and hole traps related to anion vacancies and impurities are discussed.
