Abstract

The exciton luminescence induced by muon implantation in two selected halides is compared with that induced by positron irradiation. The data include wavelength and lifetime spectra for potassium bromide and lifetime spectra for cuprous chloride, recorded at the ISIS Pulsed Muon Facility. For each material, the spectra for positron-induced and muon-induced luminescence are indistinguishable; that is, no influence of muonium formation on the self-trapped exciton state can be discerned.
