Vk. Tikhomirov et Sa. Tikhomirova, Hypersensitive transition P-3(0) -> F-3(2) of Pr3+ related to the polarizability and structure of glass host, J NON-CRYST, 274(1-3), 2000, pp. 50-54
We report on the hypersensitivity of the P-3(0) --> F-3(2) emission transit
ion (630-650 nm) of Pr3+ in a series of fluoride, germanium sulfide and in
some tellurium oxide and silica-based oxide and oxy-fluoride glasses. The r
elative intensity of this transition was dependent on the type of the glass
host. We suggest the mechanisms for the hypersensitivity in relationship t
o the glass host polarizability and structure. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.
