Thermoluminescence of X-Ray and Ultraviolet Excited CsBr Crystals

Abstract
Thermoluminescence produced both by x irradiation of uncolored crystals and by ultraviolet irradiation of additively colored single crystals of CsBr has been studied. Glow curves were obtained over the temperature range of 90-400°K and correlated with F-band absorption. A small amount of thermoluminescence was found in nonadditively colored crystals subjected to intense ultraviolet radiation. Glow-peak temperatures and activation energies are listed.
