title: X-ray irradiation-induced formation of luminescent silver clusters in nanoporous matrices.
abstract: We report the formation of luminescent silver clusters in zeolites by a fast, highly accurate, and controlled activation of silver ions entrapped in sodalite cages of LTA and FAU zeolites using high-brilliance soft X-rays. The activated luminescent samples were investigated by employing a combination of stationary and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques.
