Abstract
Investigations of EuGa2S4 have been done on the photoluminescence (PL) related to the transition between 4f65d and 4f7 configuration of the Eu2+ ion and its excitation (PLE) spectra, Raman scattering and infrared absorption. The energies of phonons coupled to the ground and the excited states of the transition are analyzed to be 34 and 19Â meV from the shapes of the PL and PLE bands, respectively. The former corresponds to the energy of the Raman line showing the highest intensity. The latter is close to the value obtained from analysis of the temperature dependence of the half width of the PL band. These correspondences indicate that the relevant emission of EuGa2S4 surely has phonon-terminated character.
