Popis: The impurity-induced luminescence of RbMnF 3 has been studied in the temperature range, 4–120 K. Multimagnon sidebands of impurity-induced Mn 2+ emission lines have been detected spanning the spectral range, 5515–5960 A. The broad emission bands, which peak at 5750 A and 6440 A, have been attributed to phonon-assisted transitions from two impurity-induced Mn 2+ traps of different depths. Pulsed luminescence measurements indicate that the quenching of the shallow trap emission is by a thermal activation to the E1 exciton level whereas the quenching of the deeper trap emission is by a multiple phonon decay. The coupling between Mn 2+ ions is strong enough to support a detectable transfer of excitation between these two traps. The results of this research also include the observation in absorption of the E1 exciton line and its 1-magnon and possible 2-magnon sidebands.
