Energy transfer from Ce3+ to Nd3+ in pentaphosphate crystals
Description
An excitation band at 300 nm corresponding to Ce3+ absorption is observed in pentaphosphate crystals containing Ce3+ and Nd3+ when the Nd3+ luminescence is monitored. The decay of excitation of Ce3+n crystals of pure cerium pentaphosphate, CeP5O14, follows single exponential kinetics with 22 +- 2 nsec lifetime. In Ce0sub(.)5Nd0sub(.)5P5O14 crystals, the Ce3+ lifetime is shortened to 3.8 +- 0.4 nsec as a result of efficient nonradiative energy transfer to the Nd3+ ions. (orig.)
