Abstract

Before we consider the effects of interaction between electronic defect states and molecular defects, we give in this chapter a brief overview of the basic properties of the defects considered in the remaining chapters of this book. As in the rest of the text we concentrate on F centers and divalent rare-earth ions. The properties of these defects have been reported in several other monographs, and we shall review here only those aspects that are important in the context of their interaction with molecular defects.
