Abstract: | Energy transfer has been studied from Er3+ to Eu3+ ions on excitation with NIR photons (796 and 980 nm) with and without Yb3+ ions. It is found that in one case the presence of Yb3+ enhances the fluorescence yield (980 nm excitation) whereas in the other case it quenches (796 nm excitation). Energy transfer from Er3+ ion's levels 4S3/2 and 2H11/2 is verified by decay curve analysis in both the cases. The nature of interaction between the donor (Er) and the acceptor (Eu) ions is found to be dipole-dipole. The energy transfer parameters viz. transfer probability, critical distance etc. have been calculated. |
