Abstract:
The spectral characteristics of BaF2 and BaF2:Tm crystals and ceramics are compared. The vacuum UV (VUV) and UV absorption spectra and excitation spectra of core-valence and exciton luminescence are investigated. The main exciton and electron-hole processes responsible for the structure of recorded spectra are considered.
