Abstract

The luminescence of single crystals of lead thiogallate PbGa2S4: Ce3+ has been studied. The observed nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the integrated luminescence intensity of PbGa2S4: Ce3+ has been explained by the energy transfer from the electronic excitations of the matrix to impurity ions and by the temperature quenching of the Ce3+ ion luminescence. The observed structure of the 4f 05d 1-4f 1 (2 F 7/2) band of the Ce3+ ion luminescence indicates the existence, at least, two types of Ce3+ ion centers in PbGa2S4.
