description

Abstract The recombination processes in the X-ray storage phosphor BaFBr:Eu2+ was investigated by measuring the microwave-induced changes in the recombination luminescence in a (high) magnetic field. Besides the resonances of the F(Br−) centre, of the VK(Br−2) centre and of the Eu2+ ground state we observed a line of a hitherto unknown hole centre. The maximum of the luminescence band in which the VK(Br−2) centre could be detected was about 400 nm. The resonance of the unknown hole centre belongs to a luminescence band peaking at about 350 nm.
