Abstract
Luminescence properties of cerium in the dense tysonite-type BaThF6 an d PbThF6 hosts have been investigated. In the barium phase the emissio n shows high quantum efficiency at 300 K. In PbThF6 strong thermal que nching above 20 K is ascribed to photoionization of Ce3+ ions. The hig h density and fast decay of BaThF6: Ce makes this material attractive for particle detection.
