✦ Synopsis

Luminescence properties of cerium in the dense tysonite-type BaThF, and PbThFs hosts have been investigated. In the barium phase the emission shows high quantum efIiciency at 300 K. In PbThFs strong thermal quenching above 20 K is ascribed to photoionization of Ce3+ ions. The high density and fast decay of BaThF6: Ce makes this material attractive for particle detection.
