Abstract
Cadmium and zinc enter the alkali halide matrices as M2+ ions and exhibit characteristic absorption bands in the uv. Often these divalent species aggregate to form dimers (and polymers). After additive coloration of the doped single crystals, reduction occurs and monovalent monomers or dimers, and neutral atomary centers are formed. The monovalent dimers exhibit a broad ESR signal with a g value of ∼2.2.
