The absorption, photoluminescence, photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL) and emission decay of CsBr : Cu and CsBr : CuO crystals have been studied for estimation of the application possibilities of the compounds based on CsBr:Cu as a storage phosphors. The role of the Cu 2+ and Cu + ions in the PSL proceses of the CsBr : Cu compounds was considered. The comparison with the storage properties of the CsBr : Cu and CsBr : CuO crystals with the CsBr:Eu crystals have been provided.
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.
