Abstract
Fast (τ < 2 ns) short-wavelength emissions have been detected overlapping the continuous intraband luminescence on exciting KBr, RbBr, KCl and RbCl crystals by an electron beam. These emissions are attributed to the radiative decay of metastable one-halide self-trapped excitons. The weak 5.8 eV emission can effectively be excited in a KBr crystal in the region of the formation of excitons (6.73-7.3 eV).
