Abstract
This paper examines the effect of doping level on the X-ray luminescence of TbO2-doped polycrystalline lithium tetraborate. It is shown that, when interpreting such spectra, it is convenient to proceed from the terms of free activator and constituent ions. We demonstrate that the emission lines of Tb3+ in doped polycrystalline lithium tetraborate are effectively excited in the band between 350 and 650 nm, which is predominantly due to electron transitions from the 5D3 and 5D4 excited states to spin-orbital levels of the 7FJ ground multiplet. The emission lines of lithium and boron in single-crystal and polycrystalline undoped lithium tetraborate are effectively excited in the band between 274 and 550 nm.
