Phys. Rev. B 69, 174105 (2004) [5 pages]Decay kinetics in low-energy emission of KCl:Tl: A Jahn-Teller model interpretationReceived 27 June 2003; revised 24 February 2004; published 19 May 2004 Anomalous decay kinetics in the low-energy emission of KCl:Tl at 475 nm is detected in the 30–110 K temperature range. This emission has many characteristics of an AX emission, that is, it originates by escape of excitation from the AT well. For this reason, we can adopt a Jahn-Teller model that was recently reproposed for interpreting this kind of behavior. On this basis, a rather simple and plausible interpretation of the observed data can be given. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
