Tunnelling recombination luminescence in CsI :Na crystals is studied by means of linear polarization, magnetic circular polarization, and optical detection of ESR either under or after X‐ray irradiation. Results are well interpreted in terms of a self‐trapped exciton (STE) scheme as the final emitting state of tunnelling recombination; here, in the present case with tunnelling, the population for each STE sublevel is derived from the thermal equilibrium spin populations of trapped electrons (Na O ) and holes (V k ) instead of the usual creation rate in UV light excitation case.
