1. A possibility of thermoactivated transformation of excitons from the lowest relaxed triplet state to spatially separated pair of charged Frenkel defects is experimentally proved in alkali-halide crystals.
2. Spectral and kinetic parameters of the short-living optical absorption of self-trapped excitons are defined in cesium halogenides, magnesium fluorite; also the parameters of near-impurity excitons in crystals with heavy homological anion impurity are defined.
3. A number of nonlinear effects that occur in ionic crystals under intense pulsed electron beam irradiation is found and correlated with the electron-hole processes dynamics.
4. Models for scintillation pulse formation mechanisms are developed for detectors based on CsI:Tl, CsI:Na, CsI:CO3, NaI:Tl crystals.
5. A possibility of impurity conduction sub-band formation in thallium doped cesium iodide crystals is proved as well as its impact into a scintillation process.
