Laser excited novel near-infrared photoluminescence bands in fast neutron-irradiated MgO·nAl2O3

New near-infrared photoluminescence bands were observed in neutron-irradiated spinel single crystal upon excitation by a 532 nm laser. The surface morphology of the unirradiated and fast neutron-irradiated samples was investigated using atomic force microscopy and scanning probe microscopy. Fast neu...
