Irradiation of alkali halide crystals creates pairs of Frenkel defects both in anion and cation sublattices. How-ever, the particular nonimpact creation mechanisms (related to the decay of different electronic excitations) of cation Frenkel pairs are still unclear. At helium temperatures, there is y...
