The perovskite-like KMgF{sub 3} polycrystalline compounds were synthesized by standard solid state reaction technique. Phase purity of the synthesized compounds was analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction technique. Single crystals of (0.2 mol% of EuF{sub 3} and CeF{sub 3}) Co-doped KMgF{sub 3} have been grown from melt by using a vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger method. Thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of KMgF{sub 3} samples doped with Eu{sub 2+} and Ce{sub 3+} have been studied after β-ray irradiation. At ambient conditions the photoluminescence spectra consisted of sharp line peaked of Eu{sub 2+} at 360 nm attributed to the f → f transition ({sup 6}P{sub 7/2}→{sup 8}S{sub 7/2}) could only be observed due to the energy transfer from Ce{sub 3+} to Eu{sub 2+}.
