Abstract The work is devoted to investigation of stable color centers (CC) that are created in Gd 3 Ga 5 O 12 (GGG) crystals under irradiation with γ‐quanta ( E = 1.25 MeV, D = 10 5 Gy ) as well as transient CC created in the crystals under irradiation with pulsed electron beam ( E = 0.25 MeV, pulse duration 10 ns, fluence 10 12 cm ‐2 , time interval of registration 0‐500 ns). On the basis of the performed study of optical absorption spectra of the as‐grown and irradiated crystals it was established the correlation between a defect subsystem of as‐grown crystals and a type of CC induced by radiation in the crystals. The role of Ca 2+ dopant ions in the processes of CC formation is examined. Models of the stable and transient CC are proposed. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
