Popis: Radiation damage centers generated by x irradiation at 80 and 300 K in the storage phosphor RbI:Tl+ were investigated with optically detected magnetic resonance and optical measurements. It is shown that the intensity of the photostimulated luminescence depends on the concentration of Tl2+ centers. Bleaching into any of the seven identified Tl2+ absorption bands destroys the Tl2+ centers and leads to a Tl+ emission as well as to VK centers. Proportionally to photodestruction of Tl2+ centers, the photostimulated luminescence is decreased. The traps for information storage in RbI:Tl+ are F centers and Tl2+ centers.
