OPTICAL-EMISSION FROM ELECTRONS IN SOLID DEUTERIUM-TRITIUM

We report an increase in an emission from solid deuterium tritium at 8 25 nm, while pumping an electron bubble transition centered at approxi mately 350 nm. This experiment implies unbound electrons cause the emi ssion at 825 nm. We find this steady-state emission shifts 8 nm toward s longer wavelengths upon increasing the temperature from 4.5 to 10 K. Finally, the same emission in pure solid T2 is shifted 3 nm towards l onger wavelengths and contains a triplet structure similar to the trip let structure observed in absorption measurements of the IS to IP tran sition of electron bubbles.
