OUTLINE Experimental set-up Samples Some physics: localized and band states of charge carriers UV i VUV spectroscopy of BaF2:Ce crystals:results and discussion Summary
Two kinds of electron states in solid state: • Delocalized band states; k-vector • Localized (trapped or self-trapped) states; configuration coordinate Q
Electron band states, linear model of the crystal E = E0 – 2Acoskb E, electron energy A – electron transfer rateconstant k, wave vector
Localized states (carrier trapped at impurity/defect or self-trapped) Additional (linear) term in energy, Elin = -kQ
Band states:electronic energy reduced, no lattice relaxation Localized states (self-trapped electrons or holes)lattice relaxationno electronic energy loss The question for a free charge carrier in any material is: localize or delocalize? Two extreme cases: Si and BaF2
Si, broad cb i vb bands;a lot to gain by staying delocalizedANDnothing to gain upon localization (no lattice relaxation; covalent bonds) Band (quantum mechanical) conduction: high mobility, low effective mass No self – trapping, no lattice relaxation gain upon trapping at impurity/defect
BaF2:Ce, narrow cb i vb bands;little to gain by staying delocalizedANDlarge lattice relaxation (ionic bonds) hole/electron self-trapping, Vk centers, F – H complexes Bandgap energy 10.6 eV (117 nm), band exciton (n = 1) 10eV (124 nm) Free excitons – band states (relaxation?) Bound excitons – combined band and localized states Electron – hole pairs – band states (relaxation?) Pay attention to 117 i 124 nm
