The CL and PL characteristic of different scale CsI:Na crystals

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate the luminescence characteristic of different scale CsI:Na crystals excited via photoluminescence(PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL). The CsI:Na crystals are processed to three samples with different diameter, decreasing from micro-scale to nano-scale. It is found that the nano-scale CsI:Na crystal emits 420nm luminescence by PL, while its emission band is at 315nm and 605nm by CL. The reason for this phenomenon relates to the energy and density of incident particles, and the diameter of CsI:Na crystal. When crystal diameter decreases to nano-scale, the number of surface defects relatively increases, leading to the Na-relative luminescence decreasing. In addition, we have also investigated the CsI:Tl crystal with the same experiment condition. The result indicates that the emission almost has nothing to do with the crystal diameter.
