Abstract
The energy transfer between the rare-earth ions in YsSiO5-Ce, Tb cryst als has been investigated with the use of the methods of luminescence spectroscopy with subnanosecond time resolution and excitation by puls ed synchrotron radiation (SR). Effective nonradiative energy transfer between Ce3+ and Tb3+-ions which is realized by the inductive resonanc e mechanism has been observed. The absolute constant of the energy tra nsfer speed Ii, and the probability of transfer have been determined. A dependence of the energy transfer parameters on the SR-excitation de nsity has been discovered and investigated. Increasing of the density of the SR-excitation by a factor of 10 results in the increase of K-t from 4.8 X 10(8) up to 1.7 X 10(10) mol(-1) s(-1).
