Effect of electric field on amplitude of scintillations in ZnSAg single crystals
Article
Abstract
The effect of constant electric field on the amplitude and damping duration of scintillations in ZnSAg single crystals under excitation by α-particles was investigated experimentally. Curves for electric quenching as a function of the energy of the α-particles were recorded and investigated. If excitation is applied through the negative electrode the amplitude of the scintillation pulse decreases with increase in the strength of the electric field. The observed phenomena are explained by the possibility of electron transition from the valence band to ionized luminescence centers.
