Abstract
We report time-resolved luminescence data for the F-4(3/2) --> I-4(11/2) tr ansition in Nd3+-doped zinc tellurite glass. The photoluminescence (PL) sho ws nonexponential decay and the associated decay time depends on ion concen tration. PL results are analysed and discussed using the stretched exponent ial function, commonly used to describe disordered systems. The nonexponent ial behaviour has been explained as due to a multi-configurational distribu tion of luminescent ions in a disordered medium. The dipole-dipole interact ions remain at the origin of the PL decay time shortening.
