The mechanisms of creation of electron-hole trapping centers in LiKSO4 have been investigated by the methods of vacuum and thermal activation spectroscopy. It is shown that electron-hole trapping centers are formed during the trapping of electrons by anionic complexes and localization of a hole in the lattice in the form of the radical SO4−. The appearance of phosphorescence at 3.0-3.1 eV, 2.6-2.7 eV and 2.3-2.4 eV confirms the creation of electron-hole trap centers.
The methods of vacuum-ultraviolet and thermal activation spectroscopy were used to measure the excitation spectra of impurity radiation in the fundamental absorption band of K 2 SO 4-Cu crystals at 15 K and 300 K. An energy transfer was detected from the base to Cu + impurities. The band gap of crystals K 2 SO 4 was estimated. In K 2 SO 4-Cu crystals, recombination radiation bands were detected at 2.95 ÷ 3.0 eV corresponding to electron-hole capture centers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
