Wf. Mou et Ds. Mcclure, EFFECT OF A LOCAL CHARGE COMPENSATOR ON TRAPPING CROSS-SECTION AND PHOTOIONIZATION ENERGY OF IMPURITIES IN A CRYSTAL, Journal of luminescence, 60-1, 1994, pp. 592-594
Electron trapping of Tm3+, Sm3+ and Ce3+ with and without local charge
compensation has been studied in alkaline earth fluoride crystal. Som
e qualitative results show that the lattice constant as well as the ty
pe of charge compensation play an important role on the trapping effic
iency while the characteristics of impurity has its own effect in the
process.
