摘要: Absorption, luminescence and excitation spectra of LiI crystals have been observed in a wide temperature range. Being extremely hygroscopic, were cleaved liquid helium inside cryostat before optical measurements. With this method crystal cleavage, the spectrum is drastically changed. Experimental results led to following conclusions: (1) steepness constant exciton absorption (Urbach) tail 0.87, (2) at least one self-trapped state stably exists, (3) from band peaking 3.4 eV occurs (4) potential barrier between free states 55 meV. A possibility be three-center type discussed.
