B. Dibartolo et al., ON THE TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE RATE OF ENERGY-TRANSFER BETWEEN RARE-EARTH IONS IN SOLIDS, Radiation effects and defects in solids, 136(1-4), 1995, pp. 911-916
We have conducted a number of experiments in order to ascertain the te
mperature dependence of the rate of energy transfer between rare earth
ions in solids. The mechanism of such dependence is peculiar to each
donor-acceptor pair. We report typical examples and point to some crit
eria that emerge from our studies.
