Abstract
A study of the spectral and kinetic parameters of impurity core-valence lum inescence (CVL) excited by synchrotron radiation in K1-xCsxCl and Rb1-xCsxC l mixed crystals is reported. The dependences of the intensity and radiativ e decay time tau of impurity CVL on exciting photon energy h nu have been f ound to be correlated. It is concluded that the observed tau=f(h nu) relati on originates from nonradiative decay of core excitations near the surface, which govern also the excitation spectral features in this spectral region .
