Enhancement of X-Ray Induced Absorption Bands in Alkaline Earth Compounds

Abstract
It is deduced that the incorporation of monovalent positive ion impurities in alkaline earth salts should increase the discoloration of these compounds by ionizing radiations. This deduction is confirmed experimentally with alkaline earth fluorides and strontium sulfate ``sensitized'' with alkali‐ion impurities. As predicted, M+3‐ion and X‐ion impurities poison the sensitizing effect of the M+1‐ion impurities.
