R. Balda et al., THE INFLUENCE OF LOCAL COORDINATION IONS ON THE OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OFEU3-CHLORIDE GLASSES( IN FLUORO), Journal of luminescence, 76-7, 1998, pp. 551-554
The influence of the local coordination ions on the optical properties
of EU3+ in fluoro-chloride glasses has been investigated by means of
fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopy. The decay of the line-narrow
ed fluorescence of the D-5(0)--> F-7(2) hypersensitive transition, the
line width of the line narrowed D-5(0) --> F-7(0) emission, and the a
verage strength of the crystal field measured as a function of excitat
ion energy along the F-7(0) --> D-5(0) absorption can be interpreted a
s indicating a crossover between the behaviour of fluorine-like and ch
lorine-like coordination anions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All ri
