J. Erostyak et al., SENSITIZED LUMINESCENCE OF EU3+ GD3+/CINNAMIC ACID MIXED COMPLEX/, Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. A, Chemistry, 115(1), 1998, pp. 21-26
The photoluminescence of europium and gadolinium mixed complexes with
cinnamic acid is investigated at room temperature. The maximum emissio
n intensity is found to be at 70% Eu3+/30% Gd3+ content. The probable
ways of energy transfer processes are discussed on the basis of spectr
oscopic data. Photochemical degradation of the sample is found, the de
gree of which depends on the Eu3+/Gd3+ ratio. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scienc
