Luminescence from self-trapped holes in manganese-doped calcium fluoride single crystals
PDF Version Also Available for Download.
Description
Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements on x-irradiated CaF/sub 2/:Mn (0.1 wt %) single crystals have been conducted in the interval 70 to 300 K. Prominent TSL peaks occur near 150 K (345- and 495-nm emission) and 200 K (predominantly 495-nm emission) with thermal decay of ESR centers at these same temperatures. Taken collectively the data suggest that 150 K TSL emission is due to mobile holes from V/sub K/ centers recombining with both trapped electrons and Mn/sup +/ ions, i.e., V/sub K/ + e/sup -/ ..-->.. 345-nm emission, and V/sub K/ + Mn/sup +/ ..-->.. …

(Mn/sup 2 +/)* + hv (495-nm emission). Additionally, H centers are formed by transformation of V/sub K/ centers. At 200 K, holes from H centers recombine with Mn/sup +/ to produce excited-state (Mn/sup 2 +/)* which decays by emitting 495-nm radiation.
