Abstract:

Properties associated with electron traps, color centers, and luminescent centers are described for nominally pure and rare earth doped, flux grown crystals of CeO2. The published work on optical and electrical properties of Ceria and related areas are reviewed and discussed in relation to this work. Computer programs for the calculation of energies and frequency factors from glow curves are presented. Modified author abstract
