摘要:
Prior to x-irradiation the photoluminescence (PL) of Mn-activated LiBaF3 shows a Mn2+ emission band at 710 nm the corresponding excitation hands are between 210 and 620 nm. After x-irradiation the PL emission spectrum shows a hand peaking at about 610 nm which is tentatively assigned to a perturbed Mn2+ emission; the intensity of all PL emission bands is increased. Structure sensitive investigations on the radiation-induced emission hand were done by detecting electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) induced changes in the integral PL emission at a temperature of 1.5 K. The analysis of the angular dependent PL-EPR spectra, recorded for different orientations of the magnetic field, yielded that the 610 nm luminescence band is due to an excited triplet state (S = 1) of a Mn-related centre with the z-axis of the fine structure tensor close to a < 110 > direction.
