The Role of Core Levels in Scintillation Processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The Auger decay of a core hole results in appearance of several strongly correlated excitations. This excited region strongly polarizes the lattice and thus the defect creation is possible. In all cases the core hole causes the strong local perturbation of electronic and lattice subsystems. The creation of such excited region with mutual relaxation of correlated electrons and holes can result in the increase of the efficiency of energy transfer to activators, acceleration of the luminescence kinetics, and the appearance of radiation-induced luminescence centers.
