Abstract

Though Cu⁺ is thermodynamically unstable in NaF, it has been introduced into this host crystal. The initial stage of its conversion into Cu⁰ and Cu²⁺ has been investigated. EPR of copper clusters and of a tetragonal Cu²⁺-NNN Schottky-vacancy complex was observed. An optical absorption band associated with this latter one was found.
