Abstract
KLuS2 single crystals doped with trivalent cerium were synthesized in the form of crystalline hexagonal platelets. VUV/UV/VIS absorption and luminescence characteristics were measured in the broad temperature and concentration intervals. The band edge of KLuS2 is found at 303Â nm, Ce3+ 4f-5d excitation band at 490Â nm and Ce3+ emission at 580Â nm with the 35Â ns decay time. Both thermal and concentration quenching of the Ce3+ emission are investigated. Phenomenological modeling and delayed recombination decays measurement are employed to understand the Ce3+ excited state dynamics. The application potential in X-ray phosphors is discussed.
