Results from the radiation damage studies of NH 4 Cl:Co 2+ and NH 4 Cl:Ni 2+ crystals are presented. On X‐irradiation at room temperature the NH 4 Cl:Co 2+ crystals are found to absorb at 270, 345, 585, 900, and 1000 nm. These absorption bands are attributed to the charge transfer transitions between radiation induced hydrazine‐like defect, N 2 H 4 + , and ligands H 2 O or NH 3 which are made available in the crystal along with the divalent impurity. If not all the absorption bands but similar absorption is found on irradiation in Ni 2+ doped NH 4 Cl crystals also. ESR studies of X‐rayed Ni 2+ doped NH 4 Cl crystals reveal the formation of both, Ni + and Ni 3+ . Spin‐Hamiltonian parameters for these centers are given.
