Exciton-Phonon Processes in Silver Halides

  • Chapter
Excitonic Processes in Solids

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 60))

Abstract

The unique properties of silver halides among simple ionic crystals have been recognized for a long time. Many of the physical properties of silver halides are clearly different from those of alkali halides, e.g., a small band gap energy with a large dielectric constant, and excellent photoconductivity as well as ionic conductivity. Furthermore, it is accepted that these features are closely related to the application of silver halides in photography. Consequently, a large number of investigations have been carried out on silver halides resulting from both basic interest and the need to understand photographic phenomena.
