Abstract
We investigated the recombination processes in the X-ray storage phosphor BaFBr: Eu2+ via the detection of the microwave-induced changes in the recombination luminescence in a high magnetic field. Resonances of the F(Br−) centre, of the VK(Br2 −) centre, of the Eu2+ ground state and of a hitherto unknown hole centre were observed. The luminescence band of the F(Br−)-VK(Br2 −) recombination peaks at about 400 nm, that of the F(Br−)-new hole centre recombination at about 350 nm.
