Ab. Lyskovich et al., EFFECT OF PHOTOCHEMICAL-TRANSFORMATIONS ON THE ROENTGENO-LUMINESCENCEAND THERMOLUMINESCENCE IN AG-DOPED CDBR2 CRYSTALS, Inorganic materials, 34(8), 1998, pp. 813-815
The roentgeno- and thermoluminescent properties of CdBr2:AgCl single c
rystals grown by the Stockbarger technique were studied before and aft
er ultraviolet irradiation. The results indicate that irradiation-indu
ced absorption in this photochromic material can be attributed to phot
olysis of the parent crystal and photochemical transformations of acti
vator-related centers. The nature of the emitting and trapping centers
is discussed.
