Popis: Luminescent spectroscopy is used to show formation of new trapping centers of charge carriers in anion-defective alumina crystals at radiation-induced transformations of F and F + -centers created by oxygen vacancies when exposed to high-dose gamma-radiation. A new wide band in the range 440–700 nm was registered in the photoluminescence spectrum at excitations with UV photons. High-dose irradiation of the crystals leads to appearance of F 2 -type aggregate centers in different charged states. These centers are additional traps of charge carriers. The new traps increase a luminescent yield at high-dose irradiation with gamma-rays and an electron beam.
