Abstract :
During irradiation tests on a Czochralski-grown single-crystal sapphire sample, a trapping phenomenon was observed which led to an apparent nonlinear dependence of the radiation-induced conductivity on dose rate. These data have been interpreted in terms of a minimum projected range of the secondary electrons generated by the primary beam. A range of about 1000 Ã… is calculated.
