Abstract

Single crystals of several alkaline earth fluorides were irradiated with thermal polarized neutrons at various temperatures. The neutron capture process **1**9F(n, gamma )**2**0F produces recoil displaced **2**0F ions (recoil energy: several hundred ev) and simultaneously some nearby point defects. These defects were studied by their influence on the **2**0F NMR spectrum monitored by the asymmetric beta -decay of the polarized **2**0F nuclei. In the cubic crystals CaF//2, SrF//2 and BaF//2 one annealing step was observed in the region of 60-100 K corresponding to an activation enthalpy of about 0. 2 ev. A second step occurs near 220 K, corresponding to about 0. 6 ev. In tetragonal MgF//2 two annealing steps were observed at 13 and 60 K corresponding to 0. 037 and 0. 17 ev, respectively.
