Abstract

For the first time the photochromic effect for cerium doped bismuth-germanium oxide Bi₁₂GeO₂₀ is presented. The results for coloring and optical decoloring at room temperature and at liquid nitrogen temperature are shown as function of illuminating light. The coloring of BGO:Ce crystals produces two different photochromic states dependent on the coloring temperature.
