Abstract

That the activation energy for the orientation of impurity—vacancy dipoles in the electronic excited state (ees) should be less than that required in the electronic ground state (egs) is not the sufficient condition for the occurrence of PIP and PID. It is observed that the activation energy is not the only parameter which controls the occurrence of PIP and PID. The fundamental relaxation time also participates in deciding the situations in which PIP and PID take place. The necessary condition found, is that the product of the activation energy and the fundamental relaxation time in ees should be less than the corresponding value in egs.
