This study presents theoretical and experimental investigations into the electron and hole color centers in BaFBr crystals, characterizing their electronic and optical properties. Stoichiometric BaFBr crystals grown by the Steber method were used in the experiments. Radiation defects in BaFBr crystals were created by irradiation with 147 MeV Kr ions with up to fluences of 10-10 ions/cm. The formation of electron color centers (F(F), F(F), F(Br)) and hole aggregates was experimentally established by optical absorption spectroscopy. Performed measurements are compared with theoretical calculations. It allows us to determine the electron transition mechanisms and investigate the processes involved in photoluminescence emission in Eu-doped BaFBr materials to enhance the understanding of the fundamental electronic structure and properties of electron and hole color centers formed in BaFBr crystals.

Thermoluminescence glow peaks in the temperature range 100 to 400 K are investigated for BaFX (X = Cl, Br) crystals after X irradiation at 100 K. A prominent glow peak of BaFCl around 210 K is found to be composed of a few recombination roots, that is, the peak corresponds to the recombination of hole trapped centres such as an O- centre and a dissociated Cl2- centre with the F (F-) centre and the O2--F(Cl-) pair defect. Another small glow peak around 270 K is likely to occur from thermal dissociation of the O2- -F(Cl-) pair defect.

The X-ray storage phosphor materials BaFC1 and BaFBr differ greatly in their 137Ba nuclear electric quadrupole interaction, despite a common crystal structure. The quadrupole coupling constant in BaFCl is relatively small and increases rapidly with temperature, in an unusual manner: [CQ[ = 1.7 MHz at T = 296 K, CQ-1(delta CQ/delta T)p = 1.
