Abstract
The processes of temperature quenching of the luminescence of the self-trapped excitons (STEs) from 93 to 200 K in the conditions of applied elastic low-temperature deformation for several alkali-halide crystals (AHCs) are presented in the paper. The theoretical explanation of the influence of low-temperature uniaxial deformation on the formation of the luminescence of the STEs was done. The increase in activation energy of the temperature quenching of the luminescence of the STEs, narrowing of the emission bands, increase in the frequency of the active oscillations of the STEs and the decrease in the Huang-Rhys parameter are shown as the results. These changes indicate a weakening of the exciton-phonon interaction in elastically deformed AHCs, which, in turn, leads to an increase in the probability of radiative annihilation of excitons.
