Popis: Time-resolved luminescence excitation spectra under synchrotron radiation (10–30 eV) excitation for the barium-containing compounds BaLn 2 F 8 (Ln = Y, Tm, Yb), (BaF 2 ) 1- x (NdF 3 ) x ( x = 0.005−0.3) and SrF 2 Ba 2+ (0.1–1%) were investigated. It was shown that BaY 2 F 8 crystals have fast cross-luminescence with an excitation threshold at hv = 19.3 eV and spectral characteristics similar to that of BaF 2 . By introducing in BaF 2 rare-earth elements with unfilled 4f-shells the long luminescence of self-trapped excitons is suppressed, but fast cross-luminescence is suppressed as well. The existence of impurity cross-luminescence in SrF 2 Ba (excitation threshold at about 18.5 eV) was confirmed. Investigations of impurity cross-luminescence give information about the band structure of crystals which do not have intrinsic cross-luminescence.
