Abstract
Beryllium oxide crystals are studied by time-resolved optical and luminescence vacuum-UV spectroscopy. The low-temperature luminescence spectra and the luminescence decay kinetics (2.5–10 eV, 1–500 ns) upon selective photoexcitation, and also the luminescence excitation and reflectivity spectra (8–35 eV), are analyzed for BeO crystals with the optic axis aligned parallel and perpendicular to the electric vector of exciting polarized synchrotron radiation. It is found that the radiative relaxation of electronic excitations proceeds through a large number of channels. The excited states of self-trapped excitons are characterized by different multiplicity depending on the excitation energy and the sample orientation.
