A. Vandijken et al., EVIDENCE FOR D-BAND EMISSION FROM PB2-EARTH FLUOROHALIDES WITH THE PBFCL STRUCTURE( IN ALKALINE), Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 660-661
The luminescence properties of Pb2+ in alkaline-earth fluorohalides ha
ve been studied and were found to originate from two types of excited
state. Next to a normal ultraviolet emission (P-3(0,1) --> S-1(0)) a v
isible emission was found and ascribed to a transition from a higher l
evel, probably of charge-transfer nature (D transition).
