Abstract
Abstract Basing on results of electric, spectral and kinetic measurements of spontaneous luminescence caused by cooling/heating in pyroelectric crystals LiGaO2, Li2GeO3, Li2B4O7 and LiNbO3 a mechanism of pyroelectric luminescence is proposed. Series of experiments were undertaken attaching a scintillating phosphor ScPO4 to a pyroelectric crystal and subjecting a pair of the bounded crystals to cooling/heating process. Pyroelectric activity causes not only pyroluminescence in pyroelectric crystals but also luminescence in a ScPO4, which is characterized with high intensity and kinetic and spectral properties typical for the intrinsic luminescence of a scintillator.
