ABSTRACT

A study of the low-temperature (8.6 K) luminescence of undoped LiB3O5 glass under excitation by synchrotron radiation (22.2 eV and 7.1 eV) was carried out. A comparative analysis of the obtained results was carried out with the results of studies of the low-temperature luminescence of undoped LiB3O5 single crystals published by other authors. As a result, a mechanism for the emission of undoped LiB3O5 glass at low temperatures was proposed, which is associated with the formation of unrelaxed molecular-type excitons, their migration, followed by the formation of autolocalized excitons near point defects, and with the corresponding their annihilation
