The thermal stability of the centres created in KI : Tl crystals submitted to an ionizing radiation at room temperature is studied. It is observed that F centres are transformed at room temperature, giving rise to more complex centres, unidentified either by EPR or Raman spectroscopy. The complementary hole centres consist of polyiodides in a low concentration and other complexes implying thallium and iodine interstitials. A recombination between some of these centres occurs at 127 °C. A quenching at LNT of a coloured sample annealed at 127 °C < T < 170 °C shows, by means of Raman experiments, that interstitials are still present since I − 3 ions are observed in large concentration.
