Abstract
This work investigates the luminescence properties and energetic structure of emission centers created by NaCs isoelectronic impurities in a well-known CsI:Na scintillation crystal. Using synchrotron radiation excitation at 8 K, high-resolution spectroscopic techniques were employed to probe the electronic transitions and luminescent dynamics within the crystal. The study reveals distinct emission bands that can be attributed to both self-trapped exciton (STE) states and excitons bound to NaCs and defect-related centers, with a clear separation between fast and slow decay components. These findings provide deeper insight into how the NaCs impurity alters the emission behaviour of the CsI host, including modifications to energy transfer and relaxation processes.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
