摘要

The spectroscopic characterization of yttria, singly and doubly doped with Ln(3+) (Ln=Sm, Eu, Dy, Er, Ho) and Bi3+ ions, is performed through excitation spectra, emission spectra and decay time measurements. The obtained spectroscopic data clearly indicate that energy transfer takes place from Bi3+ to Ln(3+) ions. The energy transfer efficiency of Bi3+ --> Ln(3+) and quantum efficiency of Ln(3+) were calculated. Upon excitation of 370 nm (Bi3+ excitation band), the quantum efficiency of Ln(3+) varies from 4% to 44%. The energy transfer efficiency increases continuously with increasing Ln(3+) concentrations, whereas the variation of the quantum efficiency of Ln(3+) is complicated. The quantum efficiency of Ln(3+) is discussed in terms of electron transfer and cross relaxation.
