Abstract
Radioluminescence (self-luminescence) of Am(III) in Cs2NaLu(Am)Cl6 (10 % 241 Am) is studied. Luminescence of Eu(III) in Cs2NaLu(Am, Eu)Cl6 (1 0% 241 Am, 1% Eu) excited by the alpha-decay of Am is recorded. A feat ure of the radioluminescence of both Am(III) and Eu(III) is its origin in f-f-transitions. The spectra were taken at 298 and 77 K. Questions related to the spectral composition and intensity and the mechanism o f energy transfer from Am(III) to Eu(III) are discussed.
