Luminescence of bound excitons created near sodium impurity ions in KCl:Na single crystals by K. Shunkeyev, А. Kenzhebayeva, A. Krasnikov, V. Nagirnyi, Sh Sagimbayeva, D. Sergeyev, А. Tilep, Zh Ubaev, A. Lushchik

“…The intensity of the X-ray luminescence (XRL) bands peaked at 2.8 and 3.1 eV (emission of recombinationally formed and relaxed ELFs) increases with both, the concentration of sodium impurity ions (10 → 1000 ppm) and the detection temperature (85 → 350 K). It is worth noting that at room temperature, the light yield of these XRL bands in KCl:Na practically coincides with that for the luminescence measured in the same way in classical scintillators, CsI and CsI:Na crystals. …”
