Diffusion-limited energy transfer from Dy 3+ to Ho 3+ in dimethyl sulfoxide

Abstract

Diffusion-limited energy transfer has been studied from Dy 3+ to Ho 3+ in dimethyl sulfoxide. The value of the diffusion constant has been calculated to be 4.65 × 10 −14 cm 2 sec −1 at 300 K. A temperature-dependent study of energy transfer has also been carried out. The probabilities of energy transferP da and transfer efficiencyη T have been calculated.
