Abstract
The influence of SrF2 nanoparticle size on their luminescence and kinetic properties under photo- and X-ray excitation was studied. The self-trapped exciton luminescence intensity was shown to reveal dependence on both the nanoparticle size and the range of excitation energies. The lowest sensitivity to the nanoparticle size is observed in the case of excitation in the region of optical exciton formation. The recombination of electrons with surface defects and non-radiative decay of excitons due to diffusion to the surface is found to be the determining factors of the luminescence quenching in the case of X-ray excitation.
