Abstract
Photoluminescence of lead tungstate and its time evolution at differen t temperatures and excitation conditions were investigated to identify the mechanisms of radiative and nonradiative recombination in this sc intillation crystal. Two centers responsible for short-wavelength emis sion were revealed and characterized. The results indicated the energy transfer between different centers to be of great importance. Red lum inescence was shown to be useful for quality control of comparatively perfect crystals.
