A correlated ESR and optical emission study on samples doped with different
concentrations of Tl+ impurity ions shows the involvement of paramagnetic
Pb-2(3+) self-trapped electron centers (STEL) and trapped hole A centers in
the electron-hole recombination responsible for the 2.6 eV blue-green lumi
