Description

Ion-irradiated BaF2 and CsCl showed LET-dependent decrease in the decay times of both the Auger-free luminescence (AFL) and self-trapped exciton (STE). A decrease in temperature makes the decay of STE fast. These LET and temperature effect are explained successfully in models based on the high density excitation by ions. It is shown that the specific luminescence yield was the lowest with N-ion irradiation. (orig.)
