Abstract
Experimental studies of the absorption spectra of CdBr2-Ag photochromic crystals revealed several absorption bands positioned close to the intrinsic absorption edge. It is suggested that impurity silver ions, neutral silver atoms and intrinsic lattice defects form nanoclusters which are responsible for the absorption peaks within the transparency range of the crystal. The effect of UV radiation on the absorption profile is also discussed in the framework of the proposed model.
