Luminescence of Silver Azide under Pulsed Excitation

摘要

An experimental study of silver azide luminescence under pulsed laser and electron excitation in subthreshold(without an explosion)and superthreshold(explosive)regimes is reported.The luminescence bands observed(approx=1.3,1.65,and 1.87 eV)are interpreted as resulting from radiative capture of electrons by divacancies(approx=l.3 eV)and radiative recombination of holes with electrons trapped at differently oriented divacancies(1.65 and 1.87 eV).
