Abstract: | Data presented on the influence of the temperature in the range 80–650 K on the spectral kinetics of the luminescence and
transient absorption of unactivated CsI crystals under irradiation by pulsed electron beams (〈E〉=0.25 MeV, t
1/2=15 ns, j=20 A/cm2). The structure of the short-wavelength part of the transient absorption spectra at T=80–350 K exhibits features, suggesting that the nuclear subsystem of self-trapped excitons (STE’s) transforms repeatedly
during their lifetime until their radiative annihilation at T⩾80 K, alternately occupying di-and trihalide ionic configurations. It is established that a temperature-induced increase
in the yield of radiation defects, as well as F and H color centers, and quenching of the UV luminescence in CsI occur in the same temperature region (above 350 K) and are characterized
by identical thermal activation energies (∼0.22 eV). It is postulated that the STE’s in a CsI crystal can have a trihalide
ionic core with either an on-center or off-center configuration; the high-temperature luminescence of CsI crystals is associated
with the radiative annihilation of an off-center STE with the structure (I−(I0I−
e
−))*.
