An. Polienko et al., EXCITION LUMINESCENCE OF LIH1-XFX SOLID-SOLUTIONS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 359(1-2), 1995, pp. 334-335
Excition states of LiH1-xFx in the exciton band of lithium hydride are
investigated by optical methods. The measurements of the decay times
of free and bound excitons in LiH1-xFx crystals were performed at the
optical spectroscopy station in the SR channel on the VEPP-3 storage r
ing. It was found that the spectra of the lowest-energy exciton band o
f these crystals followed a persistent type of behaviour. The relation
of exciton energy to solution composition points to the effect of sym
metry changes of the conduction band bottom and the average sizes of l
ithium hydride clusters. The structure of the luminescence spectra is
determined by direct, indirect or disorder-assisted quasidirect transi
tions with an increase of the fluorine content.
