Abstract

The influence of Eu doping on the energy transfer processes in BaFBr and Ba_0.82Sr_0.18FBr is investigated. A study of the phosphor efficiency under excitation into the F(Br^-) and F_A(Br^-, Sr²⁺) bands as well as excitation of the 4f⁷ → 4f⁶5d (4.5eV) Eu²⁺ transition and X-ray excitation are presented. The conditions and limits for the concentration quenching Eu²⁺ in BaFBr and Ba_0.82Sr_0.18FBr were established. The mechanism of the enhancement of photostimulation luminescence (PSL) intensity with the addition of Sr was established. It was shown that Sr²⁺ stabilizes hole centers at room temperature in a similar way as Eu²⁺.
