Notes:
The mechanism of darkening of standard silver halide photochromic glass is studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of photogenerated divalent copper ions. A time resolution of the EPR spectra was obtained by recording the evolution with the irradiation time of the EPR intensity at various magnetic-field strengths. It is shown that only one copper species is photogenerated during darkening. This species is a CuII-silver vacancy complex oriented along a [110] direction. The electron ground state has a predominantly dz2 character. The activation energy of the formation of this complex, E=0.06±0.01 eV, is controlled by the migration of interstitial silver ions. It is also shown that the silver vacancy of the complex is generated during the hole trapping by the monovalent copper ion.
