The surface electronic states of MgO are measured at Auger neutralization condition with an ion excitation source by using thermoluminescence (TL) spectroscopy. The advantage of this method is that the dynamic properties of excited states at the topmost MgO surface could be measured at the same conditions as γ measurement. Luminescence, activation energy, lifetime of trapped states are discussed.SID 11 DIGEST • 501 ISSN 0097-966X/11/4201-0501-$1.00
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.
