Abstract
Luminescence is observed in KI with red and/or infrared stimulation after previous uv preexposure. The results indicate the onset of band-to-band transitions and provide evidence for the thermal dissociation of self-trapped excitons. A commonly observed emission in KI at 3.0 eV is observed through stimulation. A model for this emission is presented.Keywords
