Abstract
An attempt has been made to apply time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in the ns time scale at T = 2–4.2 K to study exciton self-trapping and accompanying relaxation processes in AgCl crystals. No emission line attributable to the free exciton decay has been found. Two novel features, the transient broadening and a shoulder at 3 eV were observed on the well known broad emission band peaked at 2.5 eV. The broadening is interpreted as hot luminescence of the self-trapped exciton whereas the shoulder is assumed to be due to a fusion of a free exciton with a self trapped one.
