In this work, using photoluminescence (PL), optical absorption (OA), Raman spectroscopy (RS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), the radiation damage of BaFBr crystals irradiated with 147 MeV 84Kr ions to fluences (1010–1014) cm2 was investigated. The manifestations of the oxygen impurity contained in the studied crystals on the effects associated with ion irradiation are also considered. In unirradiated crystals, the PL spectra exhibited bands related to the oxygen impurity. Moreover, it was found that quenching and a shift of the PL maximum occur, which is due to the fact that, with increasing dose, aggregation of defects occurs. Electronic and hole aggregate color centers appear mainly in the bromide sublattice. A detailed study of the Raman spectra and comparison with the corresponding data for KBr single crystals made it possible to reveal the corresponding manifestations of the Raman modes of complex Br−3-type hole centers. --//-- This is an open access article: Akilbekov, A.; Kenbayev, D.; Dauletbekova, A.; Polisadova, E.; Yakovlev, V.; Karipbayev, Z.; Shalaev, A.; Elsts, E.; Popov, A.I.
