Abstract

The paper presents the results of a complex investigation into the dynamics of electronic excitations in the CsLiB6O10 crystal (CLBO) by low-temperature luminescence VUV spectroscopy with subnanosecond time resolution under photoexcitation by synchrotron radiation. Strong broad-band low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) of the CLBO crystal has been revealed. Data on the PL decay kinetics, time-resolved PL and PL excitation spectra, and reflectance spectra at 9.3 and 295 K are obtained. It is shown that the intrinsic PL of CsLiB6O10 in the 3.5-eV range is caused by radiative annihilation of self-trapped excitons. The channels of creation and decay of relaxed and unrelaxed excitons in cesium lithium borate are discussed. The band gap of CLBO is estimated as E g≈8.5 eV. A monotonic increase in the excitation efficiency of intrinsic CLBO luminescence at exciting photon energies above 19 eV is identified as the photon multiplication process.
