Abstract
Beryllium oxide (BeO) crystals were investigated by time-resolved low temperature VUV-spectroscopy at the SUPERLUMI station and BW3 beam line of HASYLAB (DESY, Hamburg). Photoluminescence spectra (3–10.5 eV), luminescence decay kinetics upon selective photoexcitation, as well as luminescence excitation (50–650 eV) and reflectivity (9–35 eV) spectra were measured and analyzed for oriented BeO crystals. It was shown that study of oriented crystals makes the traditional time-resolved spectroscopy method essentially more informative. Formation of the self-trapped exciton excited states of different multiplicity was found to sensitively depend on excitation energy and mutual orientation of the crystal's C optical axis and electric vector E of exciting polarized synchrotron radiation.
