hydrogen leads to the formation of particular types of surface colour centres indicated with
F+ S (H)(one-electron, paramagnetic) and FS (H)(two electrons, diamagnetic). FS centres
are the surface counterparts of the well-known F colour centres formed in the bulk of ionic
solids by high-energy irradiation or metal addition. In the particular case of F+ S (H), the
unpaired electron is in magnetic interaction with a nearby proton belonging to a hydroxyl …
