Hydroxyl formation accompanying defect center production in proton and deuteron bombarded aluminum oxide

Abstract
The defect center produced in Al2O3 by energetic neutron or electron bombardment which gives rise to a 205 nm (6.03 eV) absorption band appears with two to three orders of magnitude higher intensity in proton and deuteron bombarded samples compared to either neutron, electron or heavier ion bombardments. The infrared spectra of this system is used to show that the formation of OD or OH provides an additional mechanism of defect production. (AIP)
