In AgCl crystals doped with V 3+ , Cr 3+ , Fe 3+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , and chalcogen an infrared absorption at 9200 cm −1 is measured after irradiation at 20 °K. By comparison with ESR measurements on these crystals the infrared absorption can be assigned to holes trapped at lattice cations (Ag 2+ ). The localization of the holes at lattice cations is explained by the valence band structure of silver halides and a Jahn‐Teller effect of the 4d 9 configuration. AgBr crystals doped with V 3+ or Cr 3+ show after irradiation at 20 °K an infrared absorption at 7100 cm −1 with analogous properties as in AgCl.
