Abstract

The polarization emission spectrum and the angular dependence of polarization ratio of the blue emission from KCl:Eu2+ were investigated at 78.8 K. The polarized emission at 420 nm consisted of several components. The angular dependence of polarization ratio of each component is proportional to sin(2 alpha) or - cos(2 alpha), when the exciting light is polarized at ct with respect to the z-axis for the [100]-[010] optical arrangement. The relaxed excited states (RESs) of Eu2+ responsible for the 420 nm emission are presented in terms of the adiabatic potential energy surface (APES), taking into account the Jahn-Teller effect (JTE) coupling to the E-g mode and the spinorbit (SO) interaction. The charge-compensating cation vacancy (CCV, V-c(-)) also causes an additive perturbation.
