T. Kurobori et al., Experimental evidence for the aggregation of the near-IR bands in BaFBr : Eu2+ single crystals, JPN J A P 2, 39(6B), 2000, pp. L629-L632
New experimental evidence for the aggregation of the near-IR bands in BaFBr
:Eu2+ crystals has been demonstrated through a series of measurements on th
eir emission in IR, the nonrecombination process in additively colored crys
tals, and the time-resolved absorption spectra. It was found that the origi
n of the bands is attributed to a cluster of F(Br-) centers.
