Energy transfer in alkali halide scintillators by electron-hole diffusion and capture

Creators

Description

Recent calculations and experiments dealing with charge transport and capture in activated alkali halide scintillators are reviewed. Both electrons and holes are captured at thallium sites in crystals such as KI(Tl) and NaI(Tl). The kinetics of charge transport is governed either by the diffusive motion of the self-trapped hole, or by the release of electrons from a thallium site. (U.S.)
