Abstract
We studied the dynamics of energy transfer processes involving lanthanide ions in the nanocrystalline matrix of Y2O3. A set of Yb3+ and Er3+ co-doped Y2O3 powder samples consisting of crystalline particles of nanometer size in a range of 15–90 nm with low size dispersion were prepared by multistage sol-gel technology (J. Sol-Gel Sci. Technol. 21, 135 (2001). [1]). The energy transfer phenomena were studied by means of time-resolved spectroscopy, which allows to measure fluorescence response selectively for donors (Yb3+) and acceptor (Er3+) ions after flash optical excitation. The experimental results can be fitted well by the diffusion-limited energy transfer model. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
