Ultralong dark decay measurements in BaTiO(3)

Ultralong dark decay measurements in BaTiO(3)

We have observed dark decay rates in BaTiO(3) crystals at elevated temperatures that correspond to dark decay times as long as 2200 years at room temperature. Our investigations have shown that cerium is a desirable dopant in BaTiO(3) for enhancing the dark storage time.
