Abstract

The spectral and kinetic properties of photoluminescence of Pb2+ aggregated phase in CsC1 host, together with scintillation characteristics of CsCI:Pb crystals, are reported in the 10 - 300 K temperature range. Absorption, steady-state excitation and emission spectra of Pb2+ phase in CsCI host are similar to those of CsPbCl3 bulk crystal (emission peak at 419 nm at 10 K). The decay of the 421 nm luminescence of the Pb2+ phase in CsCl shows single exponential behavior with extremely short decay time of 40 ps at 421 nm and 10 K,which is considerably shorter than the decay times found in the decay of CsPbCl3 bulk emission (0.45, 2.8 and 12 ns at 418 nm and 10 K). In the scintillation decay of CsCI:Pb, two components with 0.95-1 ns and 2-3 ns decay times were found and no slower component is present at room temperature.
