Pressure-controlled luminescence in fast-response barium fluoride crystals by Marilou Cadatal-Raduban, Luong Viet Mui, Masahiro Yamashita, Yuki Shibazaki, Toshihiko Shimizu, Nobuhiko Sarukura, Kohei Yamanoi

“…Increasing the pressure decreases the core-valence bandgap due to the downward expansion of the valence band, resulting in a decrease in the valence band minimum. The onset of a phase transition from a cubic crystal structure to an orthorhombic crystal structure at 3.7 GPa inhibited the recombination of conduction band electrons and self-trapped holes, leading to the disappearance of the STE emission. …”
