Photoluminescence of sodium nitrite under ultraviolet excitation

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Photoluminescence spectra of ferroelectric sodium nitrite (NaNO2) polycrystals have been measured in the exciton transition region at room temperature and 77 K. The photoluminescence spectra have been shown to contain multiphonon replicas in a broad spectral range: from 390 to 550 nm. Conditions for lasing in sodium nitrite crystals are discussed.
