Abstract

The temperature shift of the F absorption band for KBr and KC1 single crystals was experimentally and theoretically determined. The theoretical calculations are based on the pseudopotential method using different wave functions and assumed a linear thermal expansion coefficient for the crystalline lattice. The change of F-center absorption energy due to collisions with the thermally vibrating lattice is calculated. This contribution is small. The measurements agree fairly well with the results obtained using the present model.
