- Ionic radii of eight-coordinated Cd2+, In3+, and Ga3+ ions are 1.24 Å, 1.06 Å, and 0.78 Å, respectively.
- The excitation in the IR absorption band does not influence the absorption spectrum of the crystals due to practically instantaneous capture of the free carrier by one of the Me3+ ions with formation of the shallow donor state.

- Concentration of optically active bistable centers, i.e., centers that can form both deep and shallow state, was ~1018 cm−3 for both crystals. One should note that holographic characteristics of CdF2:Ga and CdF2:Ga,Y crystals are similar to each other.
- The cross-section of electron capture by Me3+ ion is so high that an electron formed after photoionization of the shallow center is captured by an ionized center or another Me3+ ion practically instantly.
