Abstract
- Radioluminescence spectra at temperatures ranging from 10 to 320 K and low temperature thermoluminescence glow curves of BaY 2 F 8 :Ce and BaY 2 F 8 :Nd scintillator crystals have been investigated. In both materials the intensities of the excitonic and the activator ion’s emission at X-ray excitation vary with temperature, anticorrelating with each other, which provides valuable information on the host-to-ion energy transfer. Detailed thermoluminescence studies, in turn, prove the existence of charge traps, which introduce quasi-continuous distributions of energy levels into the bandgap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
