Luminescence components of BaF2(180–230 nm), CsF (220–500 nm), CsCl (200–300 nm), CsBr (220–280 nm), and RbF (200–450 nm) have been investigated at room temperature by using synchrotron radiation as a light source. These luminescence components have excitation thresholds at the energy differences from the outermost Ba2+5p, or M+mp (m= 4 and 5 for M = Rb and Cs, respectively) core state to the conduction band, and are attributeted to the radiative decay of electrons in the X−np halogen valence bands (n= 2, 3, and 4 for X = F, Cl and Br, respectively) to the outermost-core hole states. Single bunch operation of synchrotron radiation has been used to determine the lifetime of the above luminescence. The measured lifetimes in ns are: BaF2: 0.88±0.02; CsF: 2.9±0.1; CsCl: 0.88±0.07; CsBr: 0.07±0.03; and RbF: 1.3±0.1 From the above results, it is proposed that insulators having large band-gap energy compared to the energy difference between the valence band and the outermost-core state are candidates for fast scintillation materials, for example, CsCl, CsBr, RbF, KF, BaCl2, BaBr2, and BaI2.
