Hf. Folkerts et al., DIFFERENT TYPES OF S(2) ION LUMINESCENCE IN COMPOUNDS WITH EULYTITE STRUCTURE, Chemical physics letters, 249(1-2), 1996, pp. 59-63
The luminescence properties of Bi4Ge3O12 (BGO)-related compounds are r
eported. Pb-4(PO4)(2)SO4 shows a similar emission to BGO which is ascr
ibed to an activator-perturbed exciton state or the so-called D-level.
Compositions diluted with noble gas cations as well as Pb3Bi(PO4)(3)
show luminescence of s(2) <-> sp type on the s(2) ion. A search for ne
w scintillator candidates did not appear to be successful but yielded
insight into the luminescence of these compounds.
