Description

A systematic study of the properties of Bi4Ge3O12 (BGO) indicates that these crystals, along with photoemission (luminescence and scintillation) show exoelectronic emission following thermal excitation from x-ray irradiation. Samples of BGO studied in this paper were grown by the Czochralski method. It is found that the relationship between exoemission in BGO and ordinary GeO2 indicates the dominant role played by perturbation of the germanium oxide sublattice in the emission process in bismuth germanate
