Abstract

The effects of irradiation with thermal neutrons on LiNbO3 single crystals doped with Hf and Hf,Mg were studied with ion beam and hyperfme interaction techniques, using Hf as a probe. In crystals where Hf occupies both Li and Nb sites, the fraction in Nb sites is strongly reduced after irradiation. The initial situation is recovered after thermal annealing at 973 K, in air.
