Abstract

Intense photostimulated luminescence (PSL) with a peak at 420 nm is observed in ultraviolet (UV) Iight-irradiated europium-doped potassium chloride (KCl: Eu) crystalline phosphors. The PSL characteristics of UV-irradiated KCl: Eu phosphor for optical memory application were studied. The excitation and emission mechanisms of the 420 nm PSL, which are consistent with the results obtained, are discussed.
