Abstract

We removed ∼100% of clathrated oxygen ions from the crystallographic cages in a single crystal of 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 , leading to the formation of high-density (∼2 × 10 21 cm – 3 ) electrons highly localized in the cages. The resulting electron forms a structure that we interpret as an F + center and m...
