Abstract
By Application of the V-F-B model which is obtained by combining the Vasquez-Flint (V-F) model for donor-acceptor energy transfer and the model of Burshtein for donor-donor energy migration, the experimental luminescence decay curves of 4S3/2 state of Er3+ in LaF3 at 295K for four different concentrations are re-simulated successfully.It is found that in this system the donor-acceptor interaction is dipole-dipole interaction,and that the donor-acceptor interaction constant CDA is 4.75×10-41cm6/s. The results are all in agreement with the previous results of Okamoto. However, the hopping time τ0 obtained from the above simulation in proportional to xD-1.237 (xD is the donor concentration), which is different from the theoretical dependence on the donor concentration (that is τ0∝xD-2). In addition, by considering donor-acceptor energy transfer and donor-donor energy migration within the V-F model at the same time, we obtain the estimated values of the hopping time τ0′ for four different concentrations, which are in reasonable agreement with the values of τ0 obtained from the above simulation.It seems that the V-F-B model is rather self-consistent.
