Distribution of Fluorescence Excitation of Bivalent Europium in Calcium Fluoride and of Bivalent Samarium in Calcium Sulphate

Abstract

IN the course of the investigation of the fluorescence of fluorite conducted in the Institut fur Radiumforschung, Vienna1, it seemed desirable to determine the distribution of excitation in fluorite for the blue Eu + + band.
