Abstract
The vibronic relaxation process of FA centers in RbCl:Li, which have Type I emission at low temperatures and Type II emission at high temperatures, has been studied at 10 and 77K by measuring the resonant secondary radiation (RSR) spectrum from optically excited FA centers with pico-second time-resolved spectroscopy. This study has been prompted by the quest to improve our knowledge on the de-excitation process in the FA centers. The adiabatic potential energy curves are deduced from a theoretical analysis of the measured RSR spectra and compared with those already known. It is shown that Type II relaxation observed at 77K occurs after Type I relaxation, supporting in turn a model proposed by Baldacchini et al. based on photoluminescence measurements.
