| The present work is devoted to investigation of optical absorption in pure Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) single crystals in the spectral range 0.2-1.1 μm induced under influence of the 235U ions irradiation with energy 2640 MeV and a fluence 109-1011 cm-2. The induced absorption for 109 cm-2 is caused by recharging of point defects, both growth ones and impurities. After irradiation by 235U ions with fluences starting from 3 × 109 cm-2 the absorption rise is probably caused by contribution of the lattice destroying as a result of heavy ion bombardment as well as radiation displacement defects. |
