摘要
Polycrystalline samples of europium-doped K5Li2GdF10 have been obtained by a slow cooling of melted compound and investigated using spectroscopy methods. Luminescence from the D-5(2) level of Eu3+ is found to be weak. Intense, visible mission upon excitation into the D-5(2) or higher energy levels has been attributed to overlapping transitions from long-lived D-5(1) and D-5(0) levels. A strong increase of the D-5(0) emission at the expense of the D-5(1) emission occurs between 5 K and 25 K without significant change of the D-5(1) lifetime. To account for this, it is supposed that both the radiative and the nonradiative transition rates are temperature-dependent. Efficient energy transfer from the (6)G(J) levels of Gd3+ to Eu3+ ions has been evidenced by excitation spectra in the VUV region and VUV-excited luminescence. It has been concluded that the cross relaxation contributes to the energy-transfer process.
