Low-temperature studies of Cr3+ ions in natural and neutron-irradiated Mg-Al spinel

Abstract

Original results on the EPR and photoluminescence Cr3+ ions in natural magnesium aluminum spinel (MgAl2O4) are presented. The photoluminescence spectra of Cr3+ ions in natural MgAl2O4 have been measured before and after irradiated by fast neutrons.---- / / / ---- This is the preprint version of the following article: N.
