SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on deriving Smakula's Equation for calculating the density of color centers in KCl crystals, specifically considering each F-center as a damped harmonic oscillator. The original poster seeks a detailed derivation rather than just the formula, as found in textbooks. References provided include a link to Wiley's online library and the book "F-Centers in Alkali Halides" by Jordán J. Markham, which contains relevant chapters for further understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of color centers in KCl crystals
  • Familiarity with Smakula's Equation
  • Knowledge of damped harmonic oscillators
  • Access to "F-Centers in Alkali Halides" by Jordán J. Markham
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of Smakula's Equation in detail
  • Read chapters 1-4 of "F-Centers in Alkali Halides" by Jordán J. Markham
  • Explore the concept of damped harmonic oscillators in solid-state physics
  • Review additional resources on color centers and their applications in materials science
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and students studying solid-state physics, particularly those focused on color centers and their implications in KCl crystals.

I am doing an experiment on color center in kcl crystal where I need to use smakula's eqn to calculate the density of color center.. in every textbooks only the formula has been written but I want to know the derivation of smakula's equation by considering each f center as a damped harmonic oscillator.. can anyone tell me how to derive the equation or suggest me any book (it will be very helpful if you provide me the link of the soft copy )
thank you
