Charge trapping in SiO2 substrate during electron beam deposition of CaF2 thin films of different thicknesses by Marina Romanova, Sergii Chertopalov, Yuri Dekhtyar, Ladislav Fekete, Ján Lančok, Michal Novotný, Petr Pokorný, Anatoli I. Popov, Hermanis Sorokins, Aleksandr Vilken

This rapid relaxation was attributed to a relatively high irradiation dose (about 2.5 mC) obtained during the fabrication of the 277 nm film, leading to an increased concentration of ionized F centers at the SiO2–CaF2 interface and the formation of (O2–-VA) centers upon air exposure. …”
