Abstract

We present the results of our experimental investigation and numerical simulation of excitation-energy relaxation processes in zinc molybdate crystals. We show that our kinetic model of the energy relaxation makes it possible to describe basic features of experimental results. Using this model, we estimate the trap concentration in ZnMoO4 upon irradiation of the crystal by VUV synchrotron radiation and X-ray radiation. We conclude that prolonged phosphorescence of ZnMoO4 that is observed after irradiation of the crystal by X-ray radiation can be caused by the occurrence of additional traps with a low activation energy.
