Core exciton migration in Rb0.82Cs0.18Cl under excitation with synchrotron radiation and laser light

The migration of the core exciton in a mixed crystal of Rb0.82Cs0.18Cl is investigated through time-resolved measurement under excitation with synchrotron radiation (SR) and laser. The photon energy of SR is tuned to the absorption band due to the exciton composed of a conduction electron and the hole originated from the outermost core state of the Rb ion (Rb-core exciton). The time-integrated intensity of Auger-free luminescence (AFL) due to the outermost core state of the Cs ion is increased by the laser irradiation. The lifetime of the laser-induced AFL depends on the photon energy of SR. The experimental result suggests the difference between the migration length of the Rb-core exciton and that of the Cs-core hole.
